This isn't clear to me; which Ryan Murray posting was that? That may
have been before I subscribed to the list; I will have to look through
the tarballs of previous posts that I've grabbed. When you say most of
the time they don't match the running kernel; what do you mean exactly?
If I installed the Storm Linux2000 distro, and did not recompile the
kernel (at least not yet...) what _does_ match the running kernel? Are
you referring to the contents of kernel-source-2.2.16-storm.tar.bz2 or
kernel-source-2.2.16-storm-ide.tar.bz2? What's the deal with these two,
anyway? I think I'm running the storm-ide kernel, but how do I find
this out for sure?
I have read the instructions at the scyld.com site, for compiling the
tulip driver. This expects there to be a bunch of headers in
/usr/src/linux. There has been some talk of symlinking to the
appropriate directories, but I'm afraid I don't know which directories
are used for what in Debian.
Any help in this is greatly appreciated.
Many thanks in advance,
Mike
