Hmmm. I am running 2.1.72 and have run some other 2.1 kernels before that and never needed to have the symlinks. I compile ftape from sources because the binary package is kernel specific, and it looks in /usr/src/linux/include, as the kernel itself does. Surely this technique is widely enough known that all software should be using it by now that needs the kernel-specific headers. hamish -- Hamish Moffatt, [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Debian packages at ftp://ftp.rising.com.au/pub/hamish.
