Apparently the FC kernels are all hacked/patched by Red Hat. Thus things
like ndiswrapper won't compile against them. I need two things that
require a stock kernel from kernel.org: ndiswrapper, and an unofficial
patch that makes my stupid Dell Inspiron 6000's DVD player use DMA.
Now my question is what ramifications will there be for using a stock kernel
on an FC3 system. What will break?
Oh, I have a second question. Where can I get the stock FC3 kernel config
file. Honestly, the kernel has gotten so big, that I have no idea which
options should be turned off or on. Its nice to just load the default FC3
one, but I don't know where it is.
Thanks for the info.
