Hi Everyone, I am looking for a bit of help, and please forgive me if this is a dumb question. I compiled a Mandrake flavored kernel for a blind friend of mine in Ohio that contained a patch to enable speech output from the gitgo to his synth. It was a success. Anyways, during the process of building this kernel for him one of the steps was to run: make mrproper Okay, well now when I went to configure a newer version of VMware it needs to rebuild some kernel modules and when it goes to look in the /usr/src/linux/include and below directories. It complains of missing header files, spacifically version.h . Can anyone please tell me how to get back to the original Mandrake 7.1 source tree with all the proper headers etc. in place. Feeling really stupid, Perry
