OK. So after you install the kernel source package, then it should include the .config used to make the kernel image, and as was mentioned below, it should also contain the modversions.h that was created by "make menuconfig".
If you install the kernel package, then you should be able to compile the netdrivers. (Sorry about asking these questions, but I am not able to get a Debian running yet. I haven't learned enough about disk partioning, file system assignment, and the boot process to make the correct choices to allow my disk based boot to get beyond "LI". It's cool how each letter in LILO means something during its run. But I digress.) Mike --- Brian Schramm <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Kernel source is not part of the defalt load for > Debian.
