Thank's that was interesting. With time I will probably learn...:-)
Now when I run the tarball installation I can't seem to give the
installer the right information when it asks me:
*What is the location of the directory of C header files that match
your
running kernel?*
Look in /usr/src. Assuming you have installed the kernel-header
package, there should be a directory called
/usr/src/kernel-headers-2.2.19, or something similiar.
HTH.
