Nathan,
Thanks for the reply, but the package you mentioned doesnt contain
the source either. Yes, I know I could get 2.2.18, but the point is that I
want to get the source of the kernel that I installed from the Debian
CDs. It seems to me that if I cant find the source to that anywhere, that
would be a GPL violation (the binary distributor has to provide the source
code).
Regards,
Jor-el
