I did it the Debian Way, which works very well. :-) But, that *does* involve running make-kpkg, the Debian Way to compile kernel images. Charlie, if you haven't tried this script, it's a really clean way to make kernels and kernel modules. The output is a set of .debs for kernel-image and various modules (in this case cryptoloop and cryptoapi-core), which are then installed and removed via dpkg alongside you other kernel versions, including binary packages from Debian. Modules *must* be compiled for the exact kernel you're running, so that's really the only reasonable way to package these things. Also, cryptoloop-source contains a kernel patch, which make-kpkg will apply. It's really not as hard as it seems. I'm sure we could talk you through it if you want to try. Basically, you need to install kernel-package kernel-source-2.4.<whatever> cryptoapi-core-source cryptoloop-source and follow the instructions. Don't forget the PATCH_THE_KERNEL environment variable. :-) Regards, -- Jack O'Quin Austin, Texas, USA -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
