If 'dpkg-architecture -qDEB_BUILD_ARCH' doesn't show: i386 then something's screwy, I would think. Normally, the arch is "i386" (not "linux"), and the gnu system type is "linux". You can try the argument "--arch i386" with make-kpkg, but that shouldn't be necessary. -- Brian Nelson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bignachos.com
