Some basic questions - either direct answers or what fine manual to read
would be appreciated. I want to learn as much as I can about Linux but
I also want to get this blasted LT WinModem installed so I can do my
learning from my GNU Linux system.
What does pre17 mean as in 2.2.19pre17 ?
What kernel version(s) get installed from the official Debian
binary-i386 potato CD's?
Since the only kernel headers I seem to have as determined by
apt-cache search
are kernel-headers-2.2.19pre17idepci and
kernel-headers-2.2.19pre17compact
how can I determine how my system is actually configured?
uname -r gives 2.2.19pre17
I have installed kernel-source-2.2.19pre17.
I have read The Linux Kernel HOWTO, Installing Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 for
Intel x86, and many FAQ's and more.
Thanks for any information,
Paul Scott
