If you use module-assistant, `m-a prepare` will do this for you automagically and maintain it based on the the kernel header packages installed. - Mark -- Mark Kamichoff p...@prolixium.com http://www.prolixium.com/ signature.asc Description: Digital signature

It's not like of my High School buddies doing "deltree /y C:\"... did you delete /usr/src or just clobber everthing in /usr/src?

I had never used /usr/src in Ubuntu before, but I am seeing that it has more of a use in Debian. If I was not meant to delete it, is there a way to get it back?
