Hello Jon, I found that the readme of the linux-source-2.6.15 tree points to the Documentation/Changes file in the same tree for the minimum version numbers of the programs required for compilation. Apparently, all files shipped with sarge are OK for compiling and running the 2.6.15 kernel... cheers Marcelo -- Marcelo Chiapparini [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
