Great... this is not good.
Why.. I run Win4Lin which means it's a non stock kernel but Mandrake
blessed and approved... so no matter what I do I can never have headers
that match my kernel. Which means I need to go to RH or some other
distro to build an AFS server..... Not cool at all from my standpoint.
headers and kernel will never match...
