Re: [newbie] Copying Files from CDROM
I apologize for perhaps continuing too long with the modem issue on this
thread, and if I don't get a response I'll post it seperately. At just about
the same time that I got your (Anne's) response I received on from support
at smartlink. Her response is: You need to install 'kernel-source' RPM
package from Mandrake ftp or mirrors and use this installation path:
('/usr/src/linux-,version./include') as KERNEL_INCLUDES value.
Since I am still uncertain:
Can I install this kernel source RPM package from my Linux Distro CD's?
What do I include for the version section? MDK9.2 ? or is it the specific
kernal source version?
Thank you.

his windows box to download?
