[Gllug] Compiling Debian Woody (not)

[Peter Ball]

Much thanks to everyone for their help and advice.  With your help I custom compiled and am 
running the custom kernel.

I used: 	tar xfj /usr/src/kernel-source-2.2.22.tar.bz2
to place the source in: 	/usr/local/src/kernel-source-2.2.22/
where: 	/usr/local/src/ is owned by "admin" rather than "root".  It all went fine from there.

I've also now successfully compiled the driver and got it working for the miniITX onboard lan 
(VIA Rhine Family Fast Ethernet Adapter v4.24  Jan. 2003) even though the Makefile and 
readme were for Redhat 7.2  and the readme was obscure incomplete and inaccurate in 
places - nothing new there.

It's all booting cleanly with a couple of very minor things to sort.

I will admit to a certain satisfaction as this is the first linux system I've set up :-)

I know I should finish writing my notes up, but I'm of down the garden of the cafe for a little 
light reading with Linux Routers 2nd ed by Tony Mancill.-----------------------------------
