First, remember that this isn't a kernel-source that was setup for Mandrake - so you're going to have to make some modifications... On the other hand, if you just take the kernel sources and headers and all that stuff off of the MDK disks, you'll have a bit more luck and be able to get this done faster - as the kernel sources won't need any modifications (they're the same as the kernel installed on your existing system)...so you won't have to muck around with the .h files for modification or configuration... -- Thu, 20 Feb 2003 13:05:01 +1100 1:05pm up 1 day, 1:48, 5 users, load average: 0.00, 0.05, 0.10 ------------------------------------------------------------------ | __ __ | kuhn media australia | | / ,, /| |'-. | http://kma.0catch.com | | .\__/ || | | |=================================| | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' | stephen kuhn | | | / \__.`=._) (_ | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | |/ ._/ |"""""""""| | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | |'. `\ | | | icq: 5483808 | | ;"""/ / | | | | | smk ) /_/| |.-------.| | mobile: 0410-728-389 | | ' `-`' " " | Berkeley, New South Wales, AU | ------------------------------------------------------------------ linux user:267497 * RH 8.0 * PC/Mac/Linux/Networking/Consulting ------------------------------------------------------------------ The so-called "desktop metaphor" of today's workstations is instead an "airplane-seat" metaphor.
