Off topic :
Does recompiling the kernel take up HDD space?

Currently am on FC8, and i see a kernel update to 2.6.23.8-63 in Yum Extender. So does installing this kernel update take up HDD space?

This time it rebooted fine but now another problem, where is all my HD space? Last night before compiling the kernel I had 3.4 GB sapce free, now only 600 MB is free

try this then

sudo rm -rf /

you will get all space back

Gr8, on next boot it crashed & refused to boot

I formatted the partition from Windows & merged it with Vista's partition, no more Linux now

My stupidity of believing that Linux might be a good replacement for Vista for day to day usage. It's not.

Yes, i asked him to do that only! But what's the harm! He still has the headers installed, and that's more than enough until he wants to compile the kernel again. But oh well..
