Take a look at the EXTRAVERSION field at the top of the to level kernel Makefile. Changing the field will cause a change to the subdirectory where the modules will be installed. You might also be able to do 'make modules_install', the step which actually copies the module to the destination directory, with an extra parameter (env variable) which tells make where to install the modules instead of the default. Read the modules_install target in the Makefile for potential enlightenment. > Also, anybody built the 2.4.19-pre8 from Alan Cox? Is it stable enough?

I've been running it since it came out, more than three weeks ago, and it's rock stable so far. 2.4.19-pre9 came out today (or last night), if you really want to live on the stable, yet bleeding, edge. -- Monday 8 Forelithe 7466 http://vipe.technion.ac.il/~mulix/ http://syscalltrack.sf.net/ ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
