Nope; you want DESTDIR to be something like $(CURDIR)/debian/rtl8180/lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/kernel/wireless

You might want to initially install to "tmp" instead, and then move stuff around yourself. > What I'm wondering is two things: > 1. How do I specify what to install into /usr/sbin?

You'll have to write a manpage to document the sbin scripts, though. Justin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
