No kernel sources

Hello,

I did a Lenny install and am trying to learn about kernel patching. I see that there are no kernel source directories in /usr/local/src. Where then do I patch my kernel?

Thanks,

ab

The kernel source is in /usr/src/linux.

Thanks for your reply. I checked and there is nothing in /usr/src. The directory is empty...no linux directory:

aquamarine:/usr/src# ls -la
total 8
drwxrwsr-x 2 root src 4096 2007-11-19 10:21 .
drwxr-xr-x 12 root root 4096 2008-05-13 17:03 ..

Did you install the linux-source package? You should

And after that, you'd have to install the actual source itself by hand too... Perhaps you're better of by getting a fresh build from the guys at kernel.org, it might save you patching as it could have been done for you already

Thanks for the tip. I'll check out the guys at kernel.org.
