Wherer is dselect putting the kernel-source_2.4.6.deb
I have been having problems getting a new kernel compiled. I have
already posted a query about whether dpkg or make-kpkg is broke in
testing with no response. I downloaded a raw linux-2.4.6.tar.gz from
kernel.org, put it in /usr/src/linux and tried to compile with make-kpkg
buildpackage. I have never had a problem with this working before, but
it faild 3 times. I then used dselect to install the new
kernel-source.2.4.6.deb file from Debian, expecting it to install in
/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.6 but although dselect says it is installed
on my system I can not find it or any directory matching *kernel-source*
using mc find except in /var/tmp which are markers for dpkg. I did see
the /kernel-source-2.4.6_docs installed from my installation from
dselect. Anyone have any ideas here???
Thanks!
John
