Who does need them, people who compile external kernel-modules (alsa, lm-sensors, ...)? Can't these people simply install kernel-source, extract it to /tmp and set $KSRC? What *is* the difference between eg. kernel-headers-2.4.3-686 and kernel-headers-2.4.3-k6? kernel-image-version-$cpu is really nice, but these kernel-headers-<version>-* are bigger and _seem_ to be a real waste of space/bandwith. cu andreas -- Uptime: 10 seconds load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 vim:ls=2:stl=***\ Sing\ a\ song.\ ***
