Hi Mehrdad,
I used file roller (since I use gnome) to open the src.rpm and extracted
the tar.gz file. after that I 'cd'ed in the the ndas directory and then
used the 'make' command. It failed because I did not have /usr/src/linux
setup. I the did 'ln -s /usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.8 linux' and tried
'make' again. It worked. But of course I dont have the disk to try it
out. YYMV.
Cheers,
