IIRC the kernel source package is UN-CONFIGURED by default. If you want to compile your own kernel with the same options as the pre-compiled version, simply: sudo cp /boot/config-2.6.10-5-386 /usr/src/linux/.config The file in /boot may have a slightly different name depending on your architecture, but this file contains the kernel configuration options for the pre-compiled kernel. Of course, once the .config file is in /usr/src/linux, you can edit it with your preferred method (make config/menuconfig/xconfig/etc) to customise your kernel. You may also want the install the "kernel-package" package which is the "debian-way" of rolling your own kernels and integrating them into the package database :) HTH, James -- I've looked at the listing, and it's right! -- Joel Halpern -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
