The basic kernel headers are now part of the glibc pkg which for 2.4.16.11mdk-1-1mdk is glibc-2.2.4-18mdk. If you will notice -18 in glibc matches -18 in kernel-headers-2.4.16-18mdk. The headers now will no longer be changed with each new kernel but only when it is necessary to update glibc. Charles
