Hi Ameilia, That does indeed seem to be an omission in both the 2.4.26 and 2.4.27 kernel header packages. I think the best thing is to include both of the files you mention in kernel-headers-2.4.2[67]-1 and then symlink to it from the flavour-specific packages. I will work on making this so for the next release. Thanks -- Horms
