What package did you install, exactly? Specifically, did you install a kernel-source package or just a kernel-image package? You need to install a kernel-source package. Once you've done that, look at /usr/src; mine looks like: (I have extra stuff because I have multiple kernel sources installed and also have the apache source installed) cush:~$ ls -l /usr/src total 994 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 2048 Nov 13 14:42 apache-1.1.3/ -rw-r--r-- 1 root src 1007888 Nov 13 15:57 kernel-image-2.0.30_custom.1.0_i386.deb drwxr-xr-x 16 root root 1024 Nov 13 15:57 kernel-source-2.0.30/ drwxr-sr-x 15 root src 1024 Oct 22 00:30 kernel-source-2.0.31-pre10/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root src 20 Oct 22 00:30 linux -> kernel-source-2.0.30/ As you can see, /usr/src/linux/ is a symbolic link to /usr/src/kernel-source-2.0.30/ - if, on your system, /usr/src/linux isn't this way, then do (as root): newgrp src ln -s kernel-source-2.0.30 /usr/src/linux This symbolic link should be created by installing the kernel-source package, but if not then you can make it as above. (Of course, if you install kernel-source-2.0.29 instead of kernel-source-2.0.30, then adjust the commands as appropriate). -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
