The kernel sources are the current version of the sources that you use to build a new kernel. The kernel headers are not used by the kernel build process (see kernel sources), but rather are the header files from the kernel used to build glibc and other things. Normally, you do not change the kernel headers once glibc has been built. -- Collins -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
