A good place to start is kernel-package and the documentation that comes with it located in: /usr/share/doc/kernel-package/ TMK, in Debian there are pretty much two ways of getting the necessary files/info for linking against the kernel you're using (provided your using a stock packaged kernel). One way is to grab the kernel-source package for the kernel you are running and copy your /boot/config-<version> to the top level of the source tree and then configure it: either via "make oldconfig" followed by "make dep", or through the use of make-kpkg from the kernel-package package. The other (possibly easier) way is to use the kernel-headers package for your kernel version. This package should contain all the header files that you need. IIRC, symlink in /usr/src called "linux" directed to the kernel-headers-<version> should be enough for your compiling. > Sorry for asking such dumb questions but I really have done much more > reading than it sounds... Don't fret over it. We all started somewhere. -- Jamin W. Collins -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
