My system is pure Sarge with the sole exception that I downloaded and
compiled kernel-source-2.6.11 from testing as the 2.6.8 kernel did not
give me full access to my dvd-rw drive. Accordingly, I have only
entries for Sarge in my sources.list. What I meant to say was that if
you go to the Debian web site, select packages and search for
linux-source it is not found in any distribution.
