Re: Hey
In reference to the second step in my /usr/src directory all I have is
/usr/src/awe32/ and /usr/src/redhat/. I think this is strange that this
Corel version isn't either installing the source or maybe it's relocating
it. I also have a 2.2.16 but it is on my (uh... sorry) Windows machine.
Once I get my network card to work I can trasfer the new kernel source.
What types of file names would be considered a source tree? I can't use
WinZip to unzip the source tarball, I get some sort of strange error saying
"can't process 0 headers," but that's WinZip. There's also a lot of
packages with the -deb in the name on the CD. The tarball, I'm assuming
contains directories, along with the necessary files right? What are these
names. Thanks for the previous response, I'm getting closer (LOL)
