I ftped them from mirrors.usc.edu. They are 3.0r1. This time I instaled from CD1 the supposed "vanilla" one. For some reason it installed the 2.2.20-idepci kernel. Thanks for the tar help. I thought that if you gave a filename as an arguement the "f" would be assumed. Anyway I tried to make the module and it turns out that the kernel source wasn't installed. Is it on the CDs? If so where and how do I install it? Mark Healey [EMAIL PROTECTED] Giving debian a chance. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
