Re: where is my kernel source?
Hello, ktb: My Slink had no /usr/src/linux. /usr/src contained 'kernel-headers-2.0.36/' and 'kernel-source-2.0.36/' Marlon Urias wrote: My /usr/src/ only contains kernel-headers-2.0.36, this isn't the weird thing about my installation either.

where is my kernel source?
After going through pppconfig (after a fresh install of Debian 2.1) I tried pon and got a error message about my kernel not supporting ppp. So I head on over to /usr/src/linux to run make xconfig but alas, /usr/src only has a dir named linux-x.y.z.headers (or something close). I was under the impression that /usr/src/linux always existed. How can I reconfigure my kernel under these circumstances? Do I need to download the source? Am I looking in the right place? Help. Thank you. marlon

I later unpacked the 2.2.1 kernel expecting it to create a 'linux' directory with link like in Hamm. It didn't. I moved to the 2.2.1 source directory compiled and am now capable of booting two different linux kernels. I have no idea if this is the correct way or what, it just works. hth, kent

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. -Paul The impossible may be possible...but why?

The distributed kernel does support ppp. This is a bug in pppd: it often jumps to the conclusion that the kernel does not support ppp when something else entirely is wrong. Did you run pon as root, or as a user? What serial port did you select in pppconfig? -- John Hasler [EMAIL PROTECTED] (John Hasler) Dancing Horse Hill Elmwood, WI
