Re: Cannot compile my kernel due to unpredictible situations:

Here are three golden rules of unpacking a kernel tarball: 1. Make sure that you have sufficient free space on the partition before unpacking. Reason: the kernel source is not small. Currently the 2.4.0 kernel is around 105MB, but once built it will grow to 125MB or more depending on
