My problem with make-kpkg has always been that I could never rely on its generated -headers packages to actually work. So it was fine to build a kernel. But if I wanted to build some modules for that kernel, I still have a problem. My ugly workaround is to keep the source directory and hope for the best. -- Tzafrir Cohen | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | VIM is http://tzafrir.org.il | | a Mutt's [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | best ICQ# 16849754 | | friend -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
