Subject: Re: Package Name Confusion
Yes Prakhar, please tell us what you're wanting to do?
My guess is you are wanting to build a kernel?
I am trying to use a tutorial at Linux.com to build a Kernel Module.
http://www.linux.com/learn/linux-career-center/23685-the-kernel-newbie-corner-your-first-loadable-kernel-module
The author mentions some development packages are needed, I got two of them "build-essentials" and "module-init-tools".
He mentions another package called as "kernel-devel" in Fedora. I wanted to know what is the similar package in Debian?
If this succeeds then there are more tutorials on building a Kernel, will move onto them.
Thanking you,
Prakhar
