In fact, we can not be sure if those modules are still compatible with future kernel versions, but at least you try. After all, so far, the source of all kernel versions can still be freely downloaded from kernel.org, so there's no huge problem here IMHO NB: LDD3 is based on 2.6.1{0,1} IIRC, not 2.6.19 -- regards, Mulyadi Santosa Freelance Linux trainer blog: the-hydra.blogspot.com -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
