I run Debian and have installed Mandrake 7.0 on the same box. Because of a buggy motherboard, I need to upgrade the kernel to 2.2.16 and have encountered problems. I have source files on Debian for 2.2.13 and patches 14,15 &16 which I've copied over. Untarring and patching to 2.2.16 present no problems, nor does configuring to include the options I need. 'make dep' gives me 'no such file etc' for some .h files (I do have kernel-headers installed). Libc5(or6)-dev is not on the CD from which I installed and I can't find a source from which to download rpm's. As this is the only package mentioned in the Kernel Howto which is missing I assume it's where the problem lies. I could get the .deb file and install using dpkg with which I am familiar, but this is not available on the CD. Does dpkg exist as an rpm for download? If so where? Grateful for any information on sources of rpms. Thanks, John.
