Bah, you most certainly do *not* need to rebuild. > i don't have the kernel-source package, uname -r gives 2.4.18-bf2.4 and > when i do apt-get install kernel-source-2.4.18-bf2.4 it can't find a > matching package (from unstable or stable sources). i have > kernel-headers for my kernel, but can you give me precise directions on > how to do this? sorry, i'm a pretty much a noob to debian, i've recently > switched from the easiness of redhat. You don't need to go through any sort of recompile at all. In the last chapter or so of the Debian Installation Manual, it tells you about kernels, and specifically mentions that the install one is, er, an install one. $ apt-get install kernel-image-2.4.18-<cpu> Where <cpu> is 386, k7, whatever. Carefully follow the instructions, and reboot and be happy; that image has modules for nearly every piece of hardware that the Linux kernel supports it. Use modconf and /etc/modules to taste, and enjoy! -- Rob Weir <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://ertius.org/
