Hi manoj
1) depending on your distro
a) Redhat: put in the redhat CD's one by one and find
kernel-source-(version you have).i386.rpm.
then just rpm -Uvh kernel-source-* to install
b) Debian: use apt-get to install the kernal-source package
with the apt-get install kernal-source. or if you have
the Debian cds search in them for the kernel source and
dpkg --install ${SOURCE_PACKAGE_NAME}.deb #ehatever your
package name is.
c) others: usually use on of the above so just follow the same
steps for all
VERY IMPORTANT:
1) Before installing the source package that the version of the kernel
you are running ( $(uname -r) ) is the same as the package you are
running
2) Before compiling your module go to the source root and run "make dep"
to fix dependencies and to create version.h that is used by all
kernel sources and modules.
dont keep back any further queries.

samveen
