Hay Paul, I get my source from kernel.org also. But there are instructions in that document that tell you how to install from kernel.org sources "The Debian Way". Back in the day I was exclusively using Debian kernel sources. At one point I wanted a newer kernel version than was available via the Debian mirrors, so after reading in this document that it was possible, I started getting my source from kernel.org. When I upgraded to Lenny the latest kernel source I could find via apt-cache search was 2.6.26. The latest stable kernel.org kernel was 2.6.31.1 and I grabbed that. -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
