A 3 year old module source file will not build with a kernel included with Fedora Core 2. Having the kernel source installed by default or not will not have any effect on that. If a module can't build in the current build environment (i.e. necessary Makefiles and headers under /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build), it most likely can't build against the kernel anyway. There is no need to emit vulgarities unless you are a troll. -- Chris Adams <cmadams@xxxxxxxxxx> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
