The kernel source and headers is going to be around about 190mb total - you might be able to put the actual sources on your /home partition and put a symbolic link in the /usr/src/ folder, but that might be tricky getting the RPM to WANT to unpack itself to /home/whatever/whatever... You will need to have the kernel source and header source in order to compile the modem driver - sorry - wish I could compile the binary for ya, but it's system dependent... Being that you've laid your system out the way you have, you are pushing it a bit for total system packages...that is, unless there's a way you can resize the partitions so that there is at least 300mb more space on the / partition. -- Tue Dec 10 20:55:01 EST 2002 8:55pm up 2 days, 40 min, 6 users, load average: 0.99, 1.25, 1.39 .o0 linux user:267497 0o. -------------------------------- | __ __ | k�hn media australia | / \ /| |'-. | http://kma.0catch.com | .\__/ || | | | | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' | stephen k�hn | | / \__.`=._) (_ | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | |/ ._/ |"""""""""| | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | |'. `\ | | | icq: 5483808 | ;"""/ / | | | | smk ) /_/| |.-------.| | mobile: 0410-728-389 | ' `-`' " " | Berkeley, New South Wales, AU -------------------------------- Coralament*Best Gr�tens*Liebe Gr��e*Best Regards*Elkorajn Salutojn Pudder's Law: Anything that begins well will end badly.
