Hi!
I'm using hoary...
Well I managed to compile kernel, the problem was in irda... I removed that and everything is fine now... Well, not everything, but im getting there...
So thank you very much for your time and patience, I think I learned a bit about compiling kernell so you time wasnt quite wasted...
Thank you,
Miha
here what i get
takisx@nisaki:~/download$ sudo tar --bzip2 -xvf linux-2.6.13.2.tar.bz2 /usr/src
tar: /usr/src: Not found in archive
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
what is wrong ?
i follow your guide to letter
I admit that I don't know what can cause your problem BUT we can get around the problem.Originally Posted by TakisX
Open Terminal or Konsole and type:
sudo nautilus (if you use GNOME)
OR
sudo konqueror (if you use KDE)
Open the zipped file from nautilus or konqueror by clicking on it (it will run ark or some other application) and extract it (DON'T create any new folder otherwise you will have some double folder like /usr/src/linux-2.6.13.2/linux-2.6.13.2) to /usr/src.
Then you can keep on following my guide.
Tell me if it works

tar -xvjf linux-xxxx
and then
mv the_directory_created_when_untar /usr/src
hope this helps you.
Thanks it worked .I unpack and move the file to /usr/src. The line in tseliot howto does not work for me.
How i get the breezy kernel ? I have hoary
If you need breezy kernel tree or something else:Originally Posted by TakisX
sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
change the word "Hoary" (in the lines) to "Breezy"
save and exit
Open synaptic, reload and download ONLY what you need
Then go back to the file and set everything back to "Hoary" so as not to screw your system up.
Just asking because I have no idea about it.Is it secure what you say?Originally Posted by tseliot
I'm confused because some people says that it's not a good idea to mix things from different releases.
If you install ONLY kernel tree (source+patches) it won't break your system. For this reason I recommended to set things back to "Hoary" after you get the kernel tree. In this way you can compile a new kernel from Breezy sources and you will also need GCC 3.4 (from Hoary repos). The only "problem" you can have is that you have (if you use nvidia drivers) to make the nvidia installer use GCC 3.4 (I've made a guide about that)Originally Posted by odin
BTW I installed a kernel image and headers from Breezy and I had no problems at all. The problems come when you try to install other things from Breezy repositories because there will be unmet dependencies.
I hope this makes things a bit clearer
Hey man I really trying here I do not what to do I see that your some kind of king at this hehe.Oki I have a shity nvidia vanta 6 card stands in my device manager.
I have breezy if I check in terminal I want hoary hedhog, I have higher recetptions but might missed one step, I think not I can see many more packs now.
And I have gnome and think I want to stay with that.
1 first I want to change to Hoary how to?

Standing though in /usr/src$
Trying out the next step sudo make menuconfig or xconfig
In terminal I can read "terminal no rule to create target" I have not an englisch version.And I follow everything bit by bit.

Offtopic
Saying again your the king on compilmation matters, how did you become a master
