i've installed elive on my notebook (asus a8jc). now want install the network driver. i downloaded the driver from the reatltek website. but when want to install the driver i get an error:

/lib/modules/2.6.15/build is a link to /usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.15.
the directory /usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.15 is empty. is that ok? aptitude says the kernel-source is installed.

No this is not correct. You need the kernel sources. You can find it at kernel.org or grom another source. You need it to build the module.

ok. i get an other error now, gcc is not installed on the machine. so i'll download and install gcc. but in aptitude i you can see, that gcc should be installed. it's strange, isn't it?
