OK, I still don't understand how to do this properly. I am running a 2.4.3 kernel on potato using Adrian Bunk's extra packages for 2.4.x kernels.
Lets say I need the package hotplug (which allows me to setup my usb cdrw). Now do I do the following to get this: 1. Change my sources.list to contain this: deb-src http://ftp.au.debian.org/pub/debian testing main contrib non-free 2. Type: apt-get update apt-get source --build hotplug Is this how to do it? Thanks. Mark.
