Thanks for responding. But I would still like to understand what the functionality is of the build --> /usr/src/linuc. Is it dispensable, once the module tree has been installed?
Incidentally, per below, my own modutils is current, though some of the folks using our ltmodem.o compiler/installer kits may indeed need to update. > You need to update your modutils package - there have been a number of > important bug fixes, including some which allow it to work properly with > 2.4 kernels.
# insmod -V insmod version 2.4.2 # grep " # " /usr/src/linux-2.4.3/Documentation/Changes o Gnu C 2.91.66 # gcc --version o Gnu make 3.77 # make --version o binutils 2.9.1.0.25 # ld -v o util-linux 2.10o # fdformat --version o modutils 2.4.2 # insmod -V etc.
