It is not enough, if you use the "kernel-headers-2.6.8" ?

This is a realy bad idea, because most people like to have a newer kernel as 2.6.8. > Any feedback (or even solutions) will be appreciated. > > > Regards. > > Lars Roland Greetings Michelle -- Linux-User #280138 with the Linux Counter, http://counter.li.org/ Michelle Konzack Apt. 917 ICQ #328449886 50, rue de Soultz MSM LinuxMichi 0033/3/88452356 67100 Strasbourg/France IRC #Debian (irc.icq.com)
