Re: Linux need some help - new installation on Toshiba Laptop

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Thanks Sandesh.. But the Documentation which came along with the downloaded file says I should run make config and on doing that it asks me the linux source directory, and when i specify /usr/src/linux-2.0.36, it tells me that soucre is not found.. I checked up only the include dir is there so only the headers are installed as you said, but how do I go about installing the source while doing the installation, it never asked wheather only headers need to be installed...or the complete source..but it has installed only the headers.. and when I installed the package, from the second CD SRPMS dir, which said that it is a source - atleast thats what it looked like (something like 'linux-2.0.36_src.rpm') I dont know - is it possible that the source is not there on the CD?, if so would it be possible to download?   BTW - what is HTH?   Thanks once again, Deepak         ----- Original Message ----- From: sandesh To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 15, 1999 9:13 PM Subject: Re: Linux need some help - new installation on Toshiba Laptop >Hi!

That's the way for getting the source check /usr/src/linux-2.0.36 Usually the kernel source appears in a directory which has its version number postfixed /usr/src/linux is supposed to be a symbolic link . Sometimes the source for the current kernel .. its parent directory is also renamed to linux. Hope you installed the kernel source . I have a doubt that you installed the kernel headers only   HTH   Regards sandesh >Please advise. Many Thanks in advance >Deepak (ICQ 22544118 or 9222673)
