I ended up reinstalling linux and I found out that the extra files were
previously hidden until I asked the file browser to show the hidden files. The
types of files are .gnome, .mozilla, .nautilus, etc and are in the /root
directory. I did get a warning when reinstalling that it was unable to align
the partition or something but I think I've had that all along. It mentioned
that the problem could be ignored but fixed after installation. Anyway the
linux-2.6.5-1.358 doesn't have the extra start up operations that I was
concerned about but after I compiled and installed linux-2.6.11.8, that version
does this procedure making comments like starting run mode 3, run mode 5, and
checking for new hardware. The only other times I've this is when I havn't
shut down properly and probably when I install new hardware, but I havn't done
that yet.
Could it be the way I compiled? I found some where that I could do something
like this:
make clean
make mrproper
cp /lib/modules/2.6.5-1.358/build/.config .
make
make modules_install install
Clean and mrproper might nort be needed and I assume having modules_install and
install on the same line just does both at once. I'm not too sure about the
make command because I'm still on Fedora Core 2 and I don't know if I should
still be using make bzImage and make modules. If it's none of that that caused
it, could it be a new feature of the 2.6.11 that caused this or maybe a change
in the configurations. I didn't make any, I just kept accepting the defaults
that worked for me before.
BTW, what's an LUG?
