Solved Recompiling the kernel...how do I do that?

So, according to some (that are more knowledgable about that than me) - recompiling the kernel is easy, I followed the given instructions but... I cannot find the source, where do I find that?
Thanks

Hi, thanks :) umm, and then, I assume the kernel will NOT dripsrip on to my system, I need to "fetch" it, more reading up :)

downloaded and...unzipping, I'll go get some coffee, this can take a while...
Edit - done - I dont see any make.conf anywhere...as mentioned in the page ...

Well, what I did was comment sound out of /usr/src/sys/i386/conf.NoSound - that being the copy of GENERIC, but, that ends up in disaster...

Mind telling us what you're trying to accomplish by removing the sound drivers out of the kernel?

There's another thread open where she's trying to get a specific sound card working that only works with the audio/oss port. Installing and configuring that port requires running a kernel without OSS compiled into it (aka, without sound drivers).

Hence, this thread.
 
diizzy - yes, I should have mentioned that...the full recap (in short):
I have a box (not a strong one but still) that uses a Lynx One as a studio card. That uses OSS. The built-in OSS does not seem to be able to work with the card. So, sound has to be taken out...
phoenix - sorry I did'nt point that out first time round. I come from "loose" fora... ;)
SirDice - hmm, in Linux, there is no other option, there the command is
make menuconfig
make
make install

Te first line takes you in a config cycle, then you save that config file...
kpa - thanks for the link...I have quite some learning to do it seems :)

Edit - I did create a /etc/make.conf as instructed in the page:
As a rule, the system administrator creates make.conf when the values of certain control variables need to be changed from their defaults.
Click to expand...
It is compiling now...
Edit - ...and the warning was ignored, the compile failed (well, not really, it boots)... the sound unit is still in there...
This really is a challenge :)
Edit - I think the card itself is broken o_O I did everything according to the books and I get no signal in from ardour...I'll restart...marking this as solved...
