Re: [LUG] Xandros 3.0 Open Circulation Distro

 

Does Xandros use RPM?

If so, rpm -ql kernel-sources (or whatever the packagename is) will show you 
the list of files installed.

Gentoo has a portage wrapper called "epm" that allows you to do the same 
thing, i think there's likely to be something similar for most things but 
everything i've ever used has been either rpm based or gentoo.

(Ignoring slackware 3.0 which i really can't remember that far back!)

Ok, just dug out the old nForce drivers that I downloaded before (can't be

updating my Debian system) and the switch you need is this:
./NFORCE-Linux-x86-1.0-0xxx-pkg1.run
--kernel-source-path=/where/your/headers/are

Hi Grant,

I found the switch (it told me when it couldn't find the kernel source

:)) however despite Xandros saying the headers are installed I can't

seem to find them anywhere, looked in /usr/src etc.  So for the mo I
give up.  I've Googled around but all the sites I found talked about the
full source or just mentioned the headers without actually saying *where
they are*.

Kind regards,

Julian
