Or maybe Kent forgot you have no working nic... However, this translates to "beg, borrow, buy or steal" a kernel-package .deb file the same way that you managed to get the kernel source onto your machine.

You can look at the config file. Any Debian packaged kernel will have a copy of its config file installed at /boot/config-`uname -r` where `uname -r` is what is the output of the same command when running the given kernel. eg for me: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ 2% uname -r 2.6.0-test9-looxt93c1 So my kernels config file is /boot/config-2.6.0-test9-looxt93c1 I guess for you it will be something like /boot/config-2.4.18-bf2.4 or /boot/config-2.2.25-idepci Sorry I'm sure you said what kernel you you were running in an earlier email, but I don't remember now. Best of luck, Nick. -- Debian testing/unstable Linux twofish 2.6.0-test9-looxt93c1 i686 GNU/Linux
