Wrong, if my assumption is correct that to build the NTFS modules you
only need the headers that have been used to compile the running kernel.
These are in /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build and I have built Nvidia and
lirc modules successfully using these headers.

Hey, cool beans! I've never built a kernel module that way, I've always had the kernel source tree installed to build it. Perhaps thats because I'm an old codger who learned to compile linux kernels on the 0.99 version kernels...:-)

Now I'll have to figure out how to build it the way you suggest! Thanks soo much!!
