The -B7 is just Ingo's numbering scheme. 2.6.6-B7 means it's likely to be against 2.6.6-vanilla.

Since you obviously don't care about the docs, how about using any of several brute force methods? - rm kernel_api.sgml; touch kenel_api.sgml - find out where make-kpkg compiles the docs, and remove that (the docs are not compiled by default- if make-kgkg compiles them, it is doing it explicitly). etc Cheers, Muli -- Muli Ben-Yehuda http://www.mulix.org | http://mulix.livejournal.com/ ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
