 |
|
I'm following the instructions for installing 1.4 and I thought I saw 2.4.19 during the d/l, but I wasn't certain.
Thanks,
David |

should give you something like
| Code: |
total 12
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 28 Oct 24 22:34 linux -> /usr/src/linux-2.4.19-xfs-r2
drwxr-xr-x 13 root root 4096 Sep 10 19:38 linux-2.4.18-xfs
drwxr-xr-x 13 root root 4096 Oct 24 22:25 linux-2.4.19-xfs-r1
drwxr-xr-x 17 root root 4096 Nov 14 21:29 linux-2.4.19-xfs-r2
|
which shows me, that I'm currently working with linux-2.4.19-xfs-r2. What counts is where /usr/src/linux points to. |

1.4 would be the version of the Gentoo Installation that you followed. 2.4.19 would be the version of the linux kernel.
uname -a will tell you which kernel you are using, or more specifically, uname -r.

| "emerge -s sources" will list all the kernel sources available, following the guide you'll get gentoo-sources which is _based_ on 2.4.19. If you want 2.4.19 you can emerge vanilla-sources instead. To see what gentoo-sources is you can read over the Changelog in /usr/portage/sys-kernel/gentoo-sources/. |
