  My Slink had no /usr/src/linux.  /usr/src contained
  'kernel-headers-2.0.36/' and 'kernel-source-2.0.36/'
 
 My /usr/src/ only contains kernel-headers-2.0.36, this isn't the weird
 thing about my installation either. I guess I'll try looking in the cd.
 thanks.
 
 

the trick is that kernel-source 2.2.1 is on offical cd #2. but you don't
have to recompile your kernel to get ppp to work just make sure that
your /etc/modules file has the modules serial ppp slhc slip in it.
Maybe this is overkill, but this is always how I've done it.

The impossible may be possible...but why?

where to find dbootstrap source??

[Paul Dubbell]

Ahhh... my first entrance into official debiandom.

Well, if this isn't annoying, does anyone know where to find the source
for dbootstrap(the debian installation program)? I know how to find the
program(easy) but the source isn't in any deb. Argg! Any pointers would
be appreciated.

Thanks,
