I change the directory name to match the kernel, eg. /usr/src/linux-2.4.18 and make a symlink to /usr/src/linux. I cd to the /usr/src/linux directory and run 'make xconfig' and run through all the options. At this point, I do the Debian bit, 'make-kpkg -rev Custom.N kernel_image'. I install the resultant .deb then do the NVIDIA bits exactly as in the accompanying documentation. I never use apt-get to obtain kernel sources - never have done. Hope this helps - it certainly works without errors here. -- Phillip Deackes Using Debian Linux /"\ \ / ASCII RIBBON CAMPAIGN X AGAINST HTML MAIL AND NEWS / \
