Thanks for trying to help, Chris. I am following the instructions in /usr/share/doc/thinkpad-source/README.Debian. I had planned to take this machine with me to Italy next week. But now I have no time for all this, so it will have to wait a few weeks. The instructions do offer an alternative route without using kernel package, by downloading a tarball instead and, if I understand it right, running make-dep and then "the script debian/buildpkg" - which I suppose is in the tarball. I might give that a shot in April. Or maybe there will be a later version to try by then. If so, it might happen to work for me. -- richard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
