RE: Installing kernel sources
>$apt-get install kernel-source-2.2.17...
However, I normally use dselect...
Once completed cd to /usr/src...and you will find a file
kernel-source-2.2.17.bz2...just
>$bzunzip2 kernel-source-2.2.17.bz2
you should now have a file kernel-source-2.2.17.tar. Do
>$tar xvf kernel-source-2.2.17
and you should see the file contents flyby on your screen. Since the generic
place for keeping the kernel sources is in /usr/src/linux, crate a symlink
from /usr/src/linux to /usr/src/kernel-source-2.2.17 using the following
>$ln -s /usr/src/kernel-source-2.2.17 /usr/src/linux
Now cd into /usr/src/linux and continue with "make config (or menuconfig or
xconfig), make dep, make modules, make modules_install and make
bzImage"....I suggest you read the man pages for compiling the kernel....
