Horms,

I installed:

    kernel-headers-2.4.26-1_2.4.26-4.bug261776_i386.deb
    kernel-headers-2.4.26-1-686_2.4.26-4.bug261776_i386.deb
    kernel-image-2.4.26-1-686_2.4.26-4.bug261776_i386.deb
    kernel-image-2.4-686_2.4.26-4.bug261776_i386.deb

I then linked /usr/src/linux to /usr/src/kernel-headers-2.4.26-1-686.

I then ran "make-kpkg --rootcmd=fakeroot modules_image" from the
"/usr/src/linux" directory and it succeeded.

Thanks very much.

By the way, is this the current best practice for building modules if
you're using the pre-built kernels of kernel-image?

I also noticed:

    kernel-build-2.4.26-1_2.4.26-4.bug261776_i386.deb

What is this for? Do I need it? I'm running an IBM ThinkPad T40p with
the Pentium M processor; I've been using the -686 flavors with it. Is
this correct?
