I don't believe you could use the vmware-config.pl script as is since it won't run if the header files don't match the running kernel. I think could create a new script based on vmware-config.pl which will compile the modules and put them in a separate modules.deb file to be installed with the new kernel.deb file. Not unlike using make-kpkg modules-image. jc -- Jeff Coppock Systems Engineer Diggin' Debian Admin and User -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
