Well, yes, but it's not the right files if you're trying to build a module. The files in /usr/include/linux correspond to the kernel used to build libc6, not to the current kernel. (See the libc6 docs for details on this.) What you really want is kernel-source-nnnn or kernel-headers-nnnn, where nnnn is the version of the kernel you want to build a module for. Even better, if it's a Debian-packaged kernel module, take a configured kernel source tree and run 'make-kpkg modules_image' from the top of it (with the kernel-package package installed); this will automagically set up things to build all of the modules under /usr/src/modules with the header files from the kernel source. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.mit.edu/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
