Do _NOT_ extract the kernel in /usr/src/linux. That place is for the distribution-managed sources and includes. There have been a few threads on LKML and Linus's opinion is that /usr/src/linux is not good. Extract it into /usr/local/src/linux instead. > Is there a standard enviorment varible for specifing where your kernel > sources are? KERNER_DIR or something? Why would you need something like this? Usually modules not distributed with the kernel like udf, alsa, etc. let you specify the kernel source directory as an argument to the "configure" script. florin -- "you have moved your mouse, please reboot to make this change take effect" 41A9 2BDE 8E11 F1C5 87A6 03EE 34B3 E075 3B90 DFE4
