hi listees, from my life before LM I am somewhat used to compile my own kernel instead of using precompiled ones.
The normal procedure for this was to just download the kernel, install it under /usr/src/, run "make menuconfig" and then build the kernel. for mandrake things work different obviously. just downloading the current kernel-sources (2.4.18-8), configuring and then building it results in gcc instantly complaining that it misses linux/errno.h. -----CUT----- /usr/include/bits/errno.h:25:26: linux/errno.h: No such file or directory -----CUT----- Installing the kernel-headers-rpm "fixes" the problem, but this is quite weird, as the header files already come with the kernel-source-rpm. Obviously mandrake is expecting the header files to be in /usr/include instead of the correct place within the kernel-source-tree. Is there a reason why LM-kernel-sources are configured this way?
