Re: Upgrading to kernel 2.4
Hi,
for compiling the kernel (Debian way) you need the following packages:
kernel-package
libc6-dev
bin86
libncurses5-dev
gcc
fakeroot
dpkg-dev
bzip2
tk8.2-dev (for make xconfig)
You can get them with 'apt-get install'. Hope that also solves your cpp
problem.
Greetz,
Sebastiaan
