Re: kernel sources again....
Hi
From what I understand, if you just want to install new drivers (for nvidia cards, wireless, or any type of hardware) you just need the headers. To get a hold of them, do the following:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get linux-headers-$(uname -r)
This will install the headers, and not the source-tree. -
Re: kernel sources again....
When I do:
sudo apt-get linux-headers, I see this:
E:Invalid operation linux headers
What is wrong with this?
the uname -r command gives out:2.6.15-23-386
thanx for any help

Re: kernel sources again....
I think that should be sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r).Comment

Re: kernel sources again....
I did the "make" command and I don't know what is wrong but I am not sure I installed the linux-headers correctly....
