I am trying to use a tutorial at Linux.com to build a Kernel Module. http://www.linux.com/learn/linux-career-center/23685-the-kernel-newbie-corner-your-first-loadable-kernel-module The author mentions some development packages are needed, I got two of them "build-essentials" and "module-init-tools". He mentions another package called as "kernel-devel" in Fedora. I wanted to know what is the similar package in Debian? If this succeeds then there are more tutorials on building a Kernel, will move onto them. Thanking you, Prakhar
