Headers please, Re: Kernel for woody

2001-03-18 Thread Marvin Stodolsky
Please make and upload kernel-header-ver.deb along with the new kernel-image-ver.deb. The winmodems (don't like them, but almost all the new PCs have them) must have drivers compiled with kernel-headers. See for example the Lucent kit I help maintain at: http://walbran.org/sean/linux/stodolsk/

As a short term measure, I've modified slightly and tested the current rescue boot disk with kernel-2.4.0, to serve for insmod /mnt/ltmodem.o driver insertion, whose success is a 1st indicator that the modem hardware is compatible with the ltmodem.o, before a User should download all sources
