IOW, I have kernel-image-2.6.9-1-k7 installed, I need kernel-headers-2.6.9-1-k7. kernel-headers-2.6.9-1 will tag along as the other just includes K7 specific stuff and the symlink. So. Assuming you have the Laptop with an Intel P4M Processor apt-get install kernel-image-2.6.7-1-686 kernel-headers-2.6.7-1-686 kernel-build-(whatever version is required) kernel-tree-2.6.7 kernel-build and kernel-tree are actually built to make modules outside the kernel tree, but mainly for Debian packages. Although it does work for some modules that don't know about Debian at all, just that they are simple. -- [link\|mailto:greg@gregfolkert.net\|greg], [link\|http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry\|REMEMBER ED CURRY!] @ *i_wethey* No matter how much Microsoft supporters whine about how Linux and other operating systems have just as many bugs as their operating systems do, the bottom line is that the serious, gut-wrenching problems happen on Windows, not on Linux, not on Mac OS. -- [link\|http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1622086,00.asp\|source] Here is an example: [link\|http://www.greymagic.com/security/advisories/gm001-ie/\|Executing arbitrary commands without Active Scripting or ActiveX when using Windows]

I was putting the VPN on my primary workstation, but then the OTHER boxen on my network would not get to it. I've got a bunch of other systems, with what SHOULD be the correct (or at least EXPECTED) default installed environment, do I can redeploy any of then as a VPN gateway without screwing around with my primary personal box.

No need to compile your own kernel if you are using debian... just get the proper headers from the archive. For the record, vmware works just fine with this setup. As does a ton of other things I use. -- [link\|mailto:greg@gregfolkert.net\|greg], [link\|http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry\|REMEMBER ED CURRY!] @ *i_wethey* No matter how much Microsoft supporters whine about how Linux and other operating systems have just as many bugs as their operating systems do, the bottom line is that the serious, gut-wrenching problems happen on Windows, not on Linux, not on Mac OS. -- [link\|http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1622086,00.asp\|source] Here is an example: [link\|http://www.greymagic.com/security/advisories/gm001-ie/\|Executing arbitrary commands without Active Scripting or ActiveX when using Windows]

Sounds reasonable to me. - (Another Scott) - Dec. 14, 2004, 08:45:24 PM EST
