Don't forget the following packages: bin86 (i allways forget this) libncurses-dev (for 'make menuconfig') or to be sure: task-debian-devel task-c-dev task-devel-common (I'm not sure if you need all of them but if you have the space they won't hurt) > Then unpack it at /usr/src, where the package will put it.

Also look at /usr/share/doc/kernel-package/README.gz which is far more a manual than a readme and covers debians kernel-compilation-helpers in detail. > Mike -- Karsten Heymann Netzwerkverwaltung Forschungsstelle für Ökosystemtechnik Universität Kiel
