Re: Newbie Q: Where are my kernel sources?

Hi,

I've managed to load the kernel-headers OK!
Now, when I run hsfconfig (the modem installer utility) it says that I need the kernel-sources as well.
I've transferred these from my Debian CD and "un-bzipped" them. Now I've got a .tar package that I need to unpack.
I've tried to unpack this file using tar -x kernel-source-2.4.18.tar however nothing happens. 

Any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong.

Cheers,

Chris Share

Thanks to everyone who's answered my questions.
I haven't installed the kernel sources. I assumed they would be installed as part of the Debian installation. Obviously not! 

I'll try and install them from the Debian CDs that I'm using.

Cheers,

Chris Share

Nix those last two steps, those are for kernel-source packages.
