You may have several kernel source versions on your disk. You should point /usr/src/linux as a symbolic link to the one you are currently building. Do not download into it, because you then risk having 2 versions mixed together (or else create the new version directory and point /usr/src/linux to it just before you unpack the archive). If you load the Debian kernel-source... packages, each downloads into a different directory, with the appropriate name. -- Oliver Elphick [EMAIL PROTECTED] Isle of Wight http://www.lfix.co.uk/oliver PGP: 1024R/32B8FAA1: 97 EA 1D 47 72 3F 28 47 6B 7E 39 CC 56 E4 C1 47 GPG: 1024D/3E1D0C1C: CA12 09E0 E8D5 8870 5839 932A 614D 4C34 3E1D 0C1C ======================================== "For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil."
