'tar -jxvf kernel-source-2.4.20.tar.bz2' this will extract the source code into a directory called (in this example) 'kernel-source-2.4.20' you should then create a sym. link ie. 'ln -s kernel-source-2.4.20 linux' you can then change to /usr/src/linux and compile your new kernel! Bye, Duncan Excellent. Thanks. I stopped just short of compiling the new kernel (perhaps another day). I needed this to accommodate the installation of an 'el cheapo' winmodem driver supported under linux -- David Hmmmm! Ignorance is bliss. I guess I AM recompiling the kernel Oh, well! Let the adventure begin! -- David -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
