Ah, great. Unpack the sources below $HOME (to be sure, name the directory "linux", not "linux-<version>"), run "make-kpkg --rootcmf fakeroot kernel_image" (or whatever root command you like), don't clean the source tree, and look whether there's a symlink from ./debian/linux-image-<version>/lib/modules/<version>/source to /home/hille/wherever/linux Thanks in advance, Frank -- Dr. Frank Küster Single Molecule Spectroscopy, Protein Folding @ Inst. f.
