If you're including the entire headers in every package, this is an awful fallacy. Why not just do something like this: kernel-headers-2.4.3-common: all the 2.4.3 headers kernel-headers-2.4.3-piii: autoconf.h and modules/ for p3 kernel-headers-2.4.3-k7: autoconf.h and modules/ for athlon etc, etc. and then, have kernel-headers-2.4.3-piii depend on kernel-headers-2.4.3-common? Of course, if you're already doing this, feel free to ignore me. -- Daniel Stone Linux Kernel Developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 G!>CS d s++:- a---- C++ ULS++++$>B P---- L+++>++++ E+(joe)>+++ W++ N->++ !o K? w++(--) O---- M- V-- PS+++ PE- Y PGP>++ t--- 5-- X- R- tv-(!) b+++ DI+++ D+ G e->++ h!(+) r+(%) y?
