Well, the kernel itself doesn't actually need libc at all (although the makefiles need it to get ready to compile the kernel). In any case, the missing kernel-headers package is stuck in the incoming directory which is mirrored at ftp://ftp1.us.debian.org/pub/debian/Incoming (among other places). And forcing the installation with an earlier version of the headers will leave many header files broken when the references they expect don't exist (read /usr/doc/libc6/FAQ.debian.gz for the reason). -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
