It is called being ahead of the game in general. When you are to far ahead of the game in Debian, you sometimes suffer badly. Many modules (including ones like the nvidia stuff, but for different reasons) don't compile well with m-a (or at all) with the current lay of the land in 2.6.2X kernels right now. VMware had this same config.h problem, until I used v5.5.3. The only fix right now, is a patch, which I don't think exists yet. -- greg, greg@gregfolkert.net Novell's Directory Services is a competitive product to Microsoft's Active Directory in much the same way that the Saturn V is a competitive product to those dinky little model rockets that kids light off down at the playfield. -- Thane Walkup
