Yes thats true.

Then to compile the kernel module you had to download the header files for the kernel you were running. (2.6.10-5-powerpc) in my case. And then it said that if you everr changed kernels you needed to recompile the kernel module with the header files from the kernel you are using, and my only question was what are these header files since ubuntu would surely not have a header-file package for a self compiled kernel. --Mike S -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
