Hmm, now I'm a little confused. You say that "make kernel" installs three header
files that didn't already exist. In another message, however, Andrew (Pollywog)
claims that "make kernel" broke his kernel source tree somehow. Is it OK to skip
"make kernel" and avoid those three header files since they are not in the main
kernel source tree?
Also, I am going to try blowing all of the source trees away and recompiling
everything from scratch. This is the plan:
1. Untar the Linux 2.2.0 sources.
2. Untar the PPP 2.3.5 sources.
3. Skip the PPP "make kernel" step and go directly to PPP's "make" followed by "make
install"
4. Build and install the Linux kernel.
5. Reboot and happily run PPP with the new kernel.
Can anyone say whether these steps are in the right order, and if not, how they
should be rearranged? Thanks,
Trevor
