My guess is you are wanting to build a kernel? I am trying to use a tutorial at Linux.com to build a Kernel Module. http://www.linux.com/learn/linux-career-center/23685-the-kernel-newbie-corner-your-first-loadable-kernel-module The author mentions some development packages are needed, I got two of them build-essentials and module-init-tools. He mentions another package called as kernel-devel in Fedora. I wanted to know what is the similar package in Debian? If this succeeds then there are more tutorials on building a Kernel, will move onto them. Thanking you, Prakhar
Re: Package Name Confusion
Hi, I think I did not put the question properly. The question is... There is a package called as kernel-devel in Fedora, what is the equivalent one in Debian? Any help would be appreciated, Prakhar Gaur
Confusion with Package Name
Hi, I am learning how to write Module and Compile the Kernel. http://www.linux.com/learn/linux-career-center/23685-the-kernel-newbie-corner-your-first-loadable-kernel-module For that I need certain packages, I know about build-essentials, module-init-tools. The author mentions kernel-develin Fedora, what is the equivalent one in Debian? If at any time I want to search if a package is present in Debian or not, how do I search for it? as eg. Software called ABCB, has Debian package name abc.deb. How do I get to know that ABCB is named abc.deb ? BTW i am using Debian 5.0.5, with 2.6.26-2-686. Thanking you, Prakhar Gaur

I have another system running Debian 5.0.5 ,same hard ware configuration. It had the same problem, while reading about apt on Wikipedia, got to know about the command apt-config dump and the file /etc/apt/apt.conf I ran the command on the other system, and the proxy was entered incorrectly(I did not do that) I checked out the file apt.conf on my other system, it had only one line, Acquire::http::Proxy http://i...@ibab:3128;; Hence I corrected it to, Acquire::http::Proxy http://ibab.ac.in:@proxy.ibab.ac.in:3128;; and now every thing is fine. But funnily enough, when tryiny to correct the same file on my own system, There was no /etc/apt/apt.conf file. Hence created that file and just put the above line in it. apt-get is working fine now. Wonder why there was no /etc/apt/apt.conf file present??? Thanks to everyone for the help, Prakhar Gaur
make not compiling
Dear All, This is my first week with Debian 504. I am using it as a host system to build LFS(Linux From Scratch).
