Re: Recompiling kernel

[Aaron Prohaska <verdesoft verdesoft net>]

	OK, I used 'make menuconfig' to edit the kernel and then saved it.
Though I did find out doing this that vfat is modulurized in the kernel.
I changed it to be part of the kernel instead. After doing that I saved
it and left 'menuconfig', then did 'make dep clean zImage', but it seems
like it didn't change anything. If I check to see if vfat is supported
in the new kernel the command doesn't list it. Though right now I can't
remember exactly what command I used, it was something someone on the
list told me to use before.

Thanks,

Aaron
