Let me warn you about something that bit me twice in just over a week. If you don't have bison and flex installed (there may be more for all I know) the modutils .deb will happily build itself but it won't contain certain crucial programs like /sbin/genksyms. This will result in bad things happening. It annoyed me to such a great degree that I actually looked in to what it would take to bolt build-dependencies on to apt-get...but that's another story. noah -- _______________________________________________________ | Web: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/ | PGP Public Key: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/mail.html
