Ed,
I was able to run the 2.4 kernel with the existing packages, the only
thing I changed initially was the kernel, the kernel modules, and the
modutils package. I then made sure I could boot the new kernel. Then I
upgraded packages as necessary. The way I upgraded the packages was to
manually create the tar and list file myself.
For example:
rpm2cpio xxx.rpm | cpio -dim (extracts a redhat package to the current
directory)
tar cf xxx.tar * (tars up all the files in the package)
tar tf xxx.tar > xxx.list ( creates the necessary list file)
copy xxx.tar and xxx.list to the packages directory in peewee linux and
you're all set.

I was able to run the 2.4 kernel with the existing packages, the only thing
I changed initially was the kernel, the kernel modules, and the modutils
package. I then made sure I could boot the new kernel. Then I upgraded
packages as necessary. The way I upgraded the packages was to manually create
the tar and list file myself.<br>
For example:<br>
rpm2cpio xxx.rpm | cpio -dim (extracts a redhat package to the current directory)<br>

all set.<br>

Hello all!
It's nice to see people doing embedded linux stuff.
I downloaded the Peewee and gave it a go. I tried it on an embedded
486 board. Looks really good.
However, here is my first question:
Do I have to stay with the built in 2.2.17 kernel?
If it's possible is it better to move on another one? Like 2.2.22?
How can I compare kernel versions? Is it always good to go for a
recent one from kernel.org?
Thanks a lot!
