2003-01-18 Thread Jeff Penn
I have read through the kernel-header docs, & am still not sure I understand what they are for. I assumed that they enable source to be compiled when using a kernel-image. If this is correct, what is the procedure for compiling i2c-source or lm-sensors-source?. thanks Jeff -- To UNSUBSCRIB
