Well, basically you need the complete kernel source in /usr/src to run a make menuconfig or whatever. Just have a look in the Debian CDs, you'll find the kernel source somewhere there. However, there was only Kernel 2.0.36 delivered with my Debian 2.1r4 as the stable one so I downloaded the current 2.2.14 as source. You get a zipped tar archive so you copy it to /usr/src and let a 'tar xfz kernelfile.tar.gz' run over it and after that you should have this /usr/src/kernel. Grettings, Tassilo v.Parseval
