2.6.11.6 Kernel Headers
 

I've installed slack 10.1 and instead of using the old kernel I usually upgrade to the newest one. Now the one question I have is how would one make new kernel headers for the 2.6 kernel series? I ended up removing the old ones with pkgtool and I was unable to make scite. which is another subject has anyone successfully built scite. the one at linuxpackages.net installed but i was unable to launch it.

For my part, I never upgrade the kernel-headers package and I never meet a problem with programs or kernel modules compilation.

Do you have to make them? Because I merely installed them with installpkg, they should be in the same directory or area on the cd or site you downloaded from, as should the kernel source and alsa drivers.

I download and compile a vanilla kernel source from kernel.org. I'm not too sure where I'd download the headers from. Perhaps I shouldn't have gotten delete happy :P

why do you want to do this again? if you do it wrong.....

generally, you need to leave the headers glibc was compiled against installed in /usr/include/* - they can be upgraded, but I wouldn't unless you need to do it, and at that point I'd recompile glibc to match the headers.
