Problem of that is that if we don't ship a kernel with correct modversions files, there is no way to get third party modules binary only drivers :(( You need to have modversions for that, and they change each time that you change secure, etc, .... borsenkow> -andrej borsenkow> And here is patch to make make happy :-) If you ask - it has been borsenkow> verified that patch really allows you to reproduce your currently borsenkow> running kernel by simply going into /usr/src/linux and doing make; make; This is a good idea, but will not work. I thought about copying only /usr/linux/include <> for each kernel and let them that way, problem is that there are .h files out of the include directory. Notice that the only reason to have a kernel-source shipped with .config is that 3rd party people be able to compile modules that work with Mandrake kernels, if we loss that posibility, then better not distribute the .config.
