I'm trying that now but when I try:
mainaccount at ERIK:/usr/src/dvb-kernel/build-2.6$ sudo make
Makefile:13: /lib/modules/2.6.11-1-686/source/.config: No such file or
directory
make: *** No rule to make target
`/lib/modules/2.6.11-1-686/source/.config'. Stop.
What am I missing? I have the source and headers installed...
EDIT doing 'ln -s /usr/src/linux /lib/modules/2.6.11-1-686/source' got
past it but now make tells me "compiling dvb-kernel works only with
linux version greater or equal 2.6.13-rc1"!!
Just can't win...
