Hi.
Where the heck can i find the kernel headers from my Mandrake 8.1 distro ? I need it to compile modem drivers, so i can visit this site under linux  

slave:
I believe the kernel headers are located in /usr/src/linux-2.4.8 (if you haven't updated the Linux kernel) in Mandrake Linux 8.1.

Really, though, you should be using Windows; you don't have to compile anything on Windows because Microsoft is the only one with the source code anyway.

Heru:
I think someone hijacked XP User's account.

Anyhow, that is where they should be, obviously replace the 2.4.8 with the version of the kernel you have.  Have fun getting that modem to work though, it isn' always so simple.  Dail-up modems are sometimes tricky little beasts.

foobar:
I think so too   :D  

When i installed the distro, my /usr/src dir was completely empty but an /usr/src/RPM dir, which was empty, too !

Isn't there a .RPM file to contain these suckers ?
My kernel is 2.486mdk, i thought ....

Calum:
there will be an rpm somewhere on yr mandrake installation disks though, i haven't a clue how to find it amongst the other hundreds that are in there...
