Why do you want the kernel headers on the laptop?

That works - doesn't get debian patches, but I've done it both ways. The alternative is to get the debian kernel-source package. . > > 2) use make-kpkg kernel_headers (which I've never done) to build a > kernel headers package and install that on the laptop? Should work - I've never done it either. It seems like too much work when, at best, the headers seem to be half the size of the total source. > The info online about winmodems seems to be a confusing mix of > looping web links, and it's hard to know what's outdated or is different > with 2.6 kernels. I imagine it's pretty outdated - there aren't a lot of people who are into developing this sort of driver who are still using dial-up. :-( -- derek -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
