heh. Have you installed the kernel-source package yet? It'll put the source in /usr/src/kernel-source-2.0.34 and make a link to it named linux. Here's what my /usr/src/ looks like: drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 1024 Feb 6 22:38 kernel-headers-2.0.32 drwxr-xr-x 15 root root 1024 Feb 9 09:28 kernel-source-2.0.34 drwxr-xr-x 15 1046 1046 1024 Feb 11 22:37 kernel-source-2.0.36 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root src 20 Feb 9 18:00 linux -> kernel-source-2.0.36 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root src 21 Feb 6 22:48 linux-2.0.32 -> kernel-headers-2.0.32 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root src 20 Feb 9 09:12 linux-2.0.34 -> kernel-source-2.0.34 -rw-r--r-- 1 root src 7269221 Feb 9 17:56 linux-2.0.36.tar.gz You might have to make your window a little bigger to see it nicely. I started off by installing the kernel-source-2.0.34 package via dselect and it stuck everything in there. To upgrade, download the kernel sources from somewhere like www.kernel.org. Copy it into /usr/src. remove the link called 'linux', untar and unzip the source. It installs it into a directory called linux. change the name to kernel-sources-2.0.36 (or whatever, according to which sources you got). make a new link called linux that points to kernel-sources-2.0.36. cd to linux (which will put you in the kernel-source-2.0.36 directory). type make config (or menuconfig, or xconfig, I like xconfig). Follow my directions from the earlier post and that should do it for you. --- Mark Wagnon -o) / / (_)__ __ ____ __ Chula Vista, CA /\\/ /__/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] _\_v____/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\
