Hi all,
My ubuntu adventure continues,
(1) first I wanted to look at the kernel config, I ...
sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r`
cd /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.10-5-386
make menuconfig
Had a route around :)
With my Gentoo 2.6 I use to then 'make && make modules_install'
root at dave-comp:/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.10-5-386 # ls
Makefile arch drivers include ipc lib net security usr
Module.symvers crypto fs init kernel mm scripts sound
root at dave-comp:/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.10-5-386 # make && make
modules_install CHK
include/linux/version.h
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `init/main.o', needed by
`init/built-in.o'. Stop.
make: *** [init] Error 2
root at dave-comp:/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.10-5-386 #
This directory is 'linux headers', does this include the source code ? - sorry
if this is a naiive question - never had this problem before.
(2) Is there a way of auto updating security fixes only, a command line tool
that I can put in cron to run every day ?. Any suggestions ?
Thanks in advance
Dave
