upgrading from kernel 2.6.17 to 2.6.26


Hi, I'm upgrading from kernel 2.6.17 to kernel 2.6.26:

scenario:
Quote:
I don't have access to the repos via apt-get, so I have to download all packages and install them manually
steps made at this time:
Quote:
1. dpkg -i kernel-package libncurses5-dev fakeroot wget bzip2 build-essential linux-headers-2.6.26

2. tar xjf linux-2.6.26.8.tar.bz2
ln -s linux-2.6.26.8 linux
cd /usr/src/linux

3. make clean && make mrproper
. At this last line, I got this error:

Quote:
scripts/Makefile.clean:17: /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.17-2-686/arch/i386/kernel/acpi/Makefile: No existe el fichero o el directorio
make[2]: *** No hay ninguna regla para construir el objetivo `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.17-2-686/arch/i386/kernel/acpi/Makefile'. Alto.
make[1]: *** [arch/i386/kernel/acpi] Error 2
make: *** [_clean_arch/i386/kernel] Error 2
My questions are:
1. it seems that it still using the linux-headers-2.6-17 but I've already installed the 2.6.26 headers, is this correct?

2. I don't know what does error means, what should I do?

Regards

very simple

I've figured out that first I have to delete the previous linux directory, because it seems that I was doing reference to the 2.6.17, so the steps were:

Quote:
-tar xjf linux-2.6.26.8.tar.bz2
-rm linux
-ln -s linux-2.6.26.8 linux
-cd /usr/src/linux
- make clean && make mrproper
I'm rookie in this issues,


regards

Since you don't have access to the internet on that machine you may want to look into apt-zip may save you trouble in the future.
