Re: Comedi installation process...

Hi!

1. Get the newest kernel from www.kernel.org
2. make menuconfig
3. load alternate configuration from /boot/config-2.6.8-2-386
4. change IDE/SCSI from M to Y to make it bootable w/o initrd.
5. make bzImage modules modules_install
6. cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot
7. add bzImage to /etc/lilo.conf or /boot/grub/menu.lst WITHOUT initrd
8. boot with the new kernel
9. unpack comedi
10. ./configure
11. make and make install
12. unpack comedilib
13. ./configure --sysconfdir=/etc
14  make and make install
15. That's it.
