Okay. I have a question about this from the kernel README: ----------------------------------------------------------- INSTALLING the kernel: - If you install the full sources, put the kernel tarball in a directory where you have permissions (eg. your home directory) and unpack it: gzip -cd linux-2.4.XX.tar.gz | tar xvf - Replace "XX" with the version number of the latest kernel. Do NOT use the /usr/src/linux area! This area has a (usually incomplete) set of kernel headers that are used by the library header files. They should match the library, and not get messed up by whatever the kernel-du-jour happens to be. ------------------------------------------------------------- This seams vague to me. It says "area". Shouldn't it say something like this???: "Do NOT use the actual /usr/src/linux directory as it is probably a symlink to another kernel-source!" So if one compiled a kernel from source, where are the "complete" kernel-headers anyway? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
