The default debian installation did not install my kernel source files, so I am using dselect to get those files. I ran dselect, performed an update, and went to the selection screen. I found the source files and marked kernel-source-2.2.12 for installation, but I was sent to the dependency resolution screen to muddle through some suggestions.
Here is my current situation: _* kernel-source-2.2.12 __ tk8.2-dev (suggested) __ tk8.0-ja-dev (suggested) __ tk8.0-dev (suggested) __ kernel-package (suggested) Now, I am inclined to only select the kernel-package because I have no intention of running a GUI on this machine. Am I correct in assuming the tk-dev files are for writing X interfaces, for kernel management, using tcl? Am I correct in assuming that kernel-package is still very useful without a GUI? Thanks in advance. - g
