You just need to install the linux-headers package corresponding to the kernel against which you want to compile the module. It helps to keep the dummy packages linux-headers-2.6-686-bigmem and linux-image-2.6-686-bigmem installed: then the headers will always match the kernel. -- Liam O'Toole Cork, Ireland -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
