Mount your cdrom drive: su mkdir /cdrom mount -r -t cd9660 /dev/cd0a /cdrom Substitute mcd0a if you have a Mitsumi CD-ROM+interface or wcd0a for an ATAPI, or scd0a for a Sony CD-ROM, or matcd0a for a Matsushita/Panasonic CD-ROM. Substitute 1 instead of 0 for the 2nd CD-ROM drive, 2 for the 3rd, etc. Next, extract the kernel sources: cat /cdrom/dists/src/ssys.?? | tar xzv -C / -f - You're done. -- Sean Kelly NOAA Forecast Systems Laboratory, Boulder Colorado USA Last time I went to the movies I was thrown out for bringing my own food.
