I agree with playing with 'make headers_install', but if that don't work as expected I would prefer to use CLFS linux-headers package, due that it has been proved that works. > Incidentally, has anyone done any work on getting the headers_install > approach integrated with jhalfs.

For jhalfs, first we must to make mandatory the linux kernel package download (at this moment the kernel download/build is optional to allow folks to upgrade their kernel sources using patches). Then we will need to map the new headers page script name to the kernel package name, to can unpack it. Maybe some other fix could be needed, but we can't know until see the commands on that new page. -- Manuel Canales Esparcia Usuario de LFS nº2886: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org LFS en castellano: http://www.escomposlinux.org/lfs-es http://www.lfs-es.info TLDP-ES: http://es.tldp.org -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
