If kernel-source does not provide kernel-headers, then what files are in kernel-headers that are not provided by kernel-source ? What is their function ? I understood (only from inspection, mind you) that kernel-headers was a subset of kernel-source provide for compiling other program which needed to reference the kernel declarations, but preferred not to compile a whole kernel. Thus it saved them some disk space. Is this wrong ? -- Regards, Paul
