No, you need to use the kernel-source-2.4.27 package. If you want to compile external drivers, you need the matching headers (e.g. kernel-headers-2.4.27-1-686) or the source code, which needs to be configured according to your current kernel. This includes setting EXTRAVERSION=-1-686 in the MAKEFILE, copying the config from /boot to /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.27/.config, and running make clean oldconfig dep best regards Andreas Janssen -- Andreas Janssen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PGP-Key-ID: 0xDC801674 ICQ #17079270 Registered Linux User #267976 http://www.andreas-janssen.de/debian-tipps.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
