Trying to figure out where the kernel sources went.
Hi,
I am trying to recompile the kernel so I can use the ltmodem drivers. This is
a first for me, so I still have to figure out a loot of things. Please, bear
with me.
The docs said that the kernel-headers and/or sources are needed. So I check
the kernel version with unuma -r, which told me that I am running 2.2.19pre17.
Knowing that I invoked
apt-get install kernel-source-2.2.19pre17
and also
apt-get install kernel-headers-2.2.19pre17
Thinking I had succesfully loaded the needed libraries I then fired up the
build_deb script that comes with the ltmodem sources. Bummer, it tells me it
can't find the headers in
/usr/src/linux
/usr/src/kernel-headers-2.2.19pre17
/usr/src/kernel-linux-2.2.19pre17
Indeed ls shows me that there are 2 directories underneath /usr/src:
/usr/src/kernel-headers-2.2.19pre17-compact
/usr/src/kernel-headers-2.2.19pre17-idepci
Which one of those two do I use? Uname doesn't specify either of them.
There's also a file kernel-source-2.2.19pre17.bz2 in /usr/src I presume these
are the kernel sources, but shouldn't they be unpacked somewhere? If I need to
do that myself, where should I put them?
Sorry to pester you guys with all these questions. I tried finding the answers
on the net and in the doc directories, but was unsucessful.

P.S. I have found the kernel how-to, but that didn't answer my questions.
