linux/errno.h is in libc6-dev. You also should not try to compile 2.0 kernels with egcc, use gcc2.7.2 instead. The problem is that the 2.0 kernels contain some bugs that are exposed only by the more agressive optimization techniques present in egcc. The 2.2 kernel-to-be will not have these bugs anymore (well, it is supposed not to have them). HTH, Eric -- E.L.
