I got the external modules to compile once with something very like what is in the notes, but I was not able to do it a second time. I think there may be some soft/hard link loop somewhere. If you try these steps, let me know how it works out. Please ignore the stuff related to LANforge..that is my project that I am adding to the custom live cd. http://www.candelatech.com/oss/ubuntu-live-notes.txt Thanks, Ben > > > -- Ben Greear <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Candela Technologies Inc http://www.candelatech.com -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss

i think this belongs with kernel-team?

Rebuilding linux-ubuntu-modules and linux-restricted-modules?
Hey, I've looked high and low and nowhere can I find a workable method of recompiling linux-ubuntu-modules and linux-restricted-modules for a custom kernel. Please forgive me for asking this here, but I don't know anyone else to aks and I find more and more often that modules that I know and appreciate are being absorbed by these two packages (fglrx became part of l-r-m in Hardy). Also, if there's any way to modify the code to automatically compile under /usr/src/modules with module-assistant as was more common previously, that would be wonderful! Thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer, Aubrey -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss

It seems a little out of touch with the rest of Ubuntu. If one can take Hardy Heron and use it to present a course on Linux while charging for the course, why wouldn't you have the license similar for the documents? Charge for the course (not the material) but use the material to refer to in the course.
