GI needs to be informed about which kernel(s) is/are to be used.
Most of the time, no manual install is needed. Just be sure to
-have the BOOT kernel(s) in /RPMS, and typing make later on will
+have the kernel(s) in /RPMS, and typing make later on will
extract the package(s) and build stuff from it.
FYI, for each kernel, directories will be populated as follows:
gi/kernel/all.kernels/2.6.0
special files containing
- - vmlinuz, modules.dep
- - modules for stage1 (*.mar, *.tar)
- - modules for stage2 (modules.cz)
+ - vmlinuz
+ - modules.dep, modules.alias, modules for stage1 (*.tar)
(3) required rpm packages
You need quite a number of rpm packages installed on your system
-to build gi properly. Roughly:
-
-emacs gcc make glibc-devel glibc-static-devel perl-devel XFree86
-xorg-x11-Xvfb x11-devel
-ldetect ldetect-devel ldetect-lst
-ldetect-lst-devel libslang-devel libnewt-devel e2fsprogs
-dosfstools rpmtools bzip2_1-devel
-ncurses5-devel setserial telnet
-parted raidtools pciutils mt-st gpart reiserfsprogs jfsprogs
-xfsprogs extipl pcmcia-cs gettext perl-Gtk2 perl-Glib perl-XML-Parser ash imlib
-fb2png ntfsprogs lm_sensors galaxy-gnome perl-PerlIO-gzip brltty
-lvm2 mkcd perl-URPM glibc-i18ndata cloop-utils partimage syslinux
-memtest86+ dmraid dietlibc-devel xfsdump
+to build gi properly. You should install this package to pull the
+requirements:
+ task-drakx-devel
You may need a few others I forgot to mention. If the compilation fails, try
to understand the message and install any necessary remaining package.
