There is a newer version - 4.75, which seems *slightly* less buggy for me.
If you don't already have it, add the security line to your
/etc/apt/sources.list file, and then run:
apt-get update; apt-get upgrade
and it will install the newer version, as well as any other security fixes
you may need.
Quick answer here - I'll make two assumptions:
1) This is NOT for a programming assignment. ;-)
2) Using the comma within a condition is treated as AND (&&). That's
messier code than I usually create.
Making the z = x + y assignment is part of the loop's condition, so it is
evaluated at whatever

Actually, it's just the kernel that comes with the 2.1 installation CD or

I've tried several ways to get the kernel source, but I've been
unsuccessful so far. I've tried using apt-get for a few of the
kernel-source packages, and also ftping from kernel.org, and every time I
untar them (or bzip2), it quits early, saying there are around 300 bytes
of garbage at the end. So
Okay, I've tried getting the kernel sources from different places,
decompressing the files in different ways, and finding the files so I can
even start to configure a kernel.
I've done it before, but I guess all the files were already there for me.
Can someone PLEASE just give the step-by-step in

My problem: I could never decompress any kernel source file I
downloaded without it aborting with errors.
My solution: I uninstalled the bzip2 package and then reinstalled it.
That fixed the problem, so I'm on to xconfig, which seems to work now...
Thanks for the help.

I've successfully accomplished what I needed, but I ended up doing
everything as root. I use xconfig, and that wouldn't work unless I logged
into X as root. So:
a) How "bad" is it doing everything as root?
b) How/where is this done that files can be created and xconfig run
without being root? I'v

Nope. You can do this:
apt-get install kernel-source-2.2.17
That will install a bzipped file in /usr/src which you can unzip with
tar Ixvf
Believe me - been there, done that, SEVERAL times in the last week.

I only had one ipchains rule to turn it on, and added another to prevent

I've started configuring my potato system to use a SoundBlaster AWE64, and
it appears the documentation I've found isn't totally up-to-date. I've read

any other instructions for getting this card set up?

If I understand you courrectly, to change where the default window manager

I'm glad this question was asked - I'm learning a lot on this list.

Out of curiosity, should I have CONFIG_KMOD on or off when configuring

way for the kernel to load them.
