Sorry to highjack this thread and Mark, you give some sensible help but in
my case (slackware 9.0), the k series is not on the bootable cd but on
cd2, therefore /usr/src/linux doesn't exist. My problem is how to install the k series, or can one
simply copy and how.
PS. I can RTFM and only need some helpful feedback (spare the sarcasms).
TIA
