Hello.
I am trying to enable TTL changing in a packet by using the TTL patch from Harald Welte in Patch-o-matic. To do this I need the kernel sources, but I do not want to recompile the whole kernel, just to add support of TTL changing as a module. So I installed kernel-2.6.10-1.760_FC3.src.rpm and inside there was a linux-2.6.10.tar.bz2, which I extracted in a directory. After doing this I ran ./runme extra and gave the source directory of the kernel and iptables. Selected only the TTL patch to apply. Now I ran make menuconfig and
selected the TTL support as a module. In all sections of the menu there were already chosen things, so I didn't make any further configurations. I saved the configuration file and then did make modules. Now it goes fine, but I think that there are too many things that it compiles and I do not need. Is it possible that in the configuration have been chosen ALL the hardware to support? I don't need anything extra to my current configuraion except the TTL support changing. Could you please tell me what kernel source to use to keep my current configuration without having to recompile the kernel from scratch? I have never compiled a kernel. :confused: I am using Fedora Core 3, the latest available kernel (2.6.10-1.760_FC3). Thanks in advance.
