Taken to another system? The problems I remember: 1. the "source" and "build" links pointed to an incorrect place. An invalid build link is a problem. 2. If I actually changed the source to make the base supplied linux-headers package not good enough, I found no way to generate a complete one (linux-headers-2.6.18-6 vs linux-headers-2.6.18-6-686). > > > So it was fine to build a kernel.

Doesn't work well if you want to allow building stuff on other computers :-( This is to say that I got spolit by how well 'm-a a-i' works. -- 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".
