    Linux guys inside

    Alright, its been a few years since i have run a linux system but since windows took a crap i figured i'd give linux another go. I'm having some problems though. I installed fedora core 4 but now i'm having problems installing ndsiwrapper-1.4. I tar zxvf just fine but when i su to root and try to make i get this message

    make -C driver
    make[1]: Entering directory `/home/tpunk/ndiswrapper-1.4/driver'
    Can't find kernel sources in /lib/modules/2.6.11-1.1369_FC4/build;
    give the path to kernel sources with KSRC=<path> argument to make
    make[1]: *** [prereq_check] Error 1
    make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/tpunk/ndiswrapper-1.4/driver'
    make: *** [all] Error 2

    and of course make install gives a similar message. What is going on, i have tried downloading the file from different places (hoping that i just got a bad copy or something but nope, i'm just doing something wrong). I need to get this working so i can use a windows driver for my wireless netgear card. Also out of curiosity what is this Yum stuff, i dont quite get it from what i have read. Thanks for any help.

    ./configure
    make
    make install


    I'm not a big fan of FC at all

    Yum is a package manager. It's what you should probably be using instead of trying to compile this yourself.

        I've been running fc4 for a little while now, its ok. rpm's are nice. bootables are always nice too.

          I'm not a fan of anything Redhat either. I recommend Slackware or Gentoo.

            For a great, no hassle distro one must really try Suse 9.3 Pro, especially for a laptop. Unless you want to give yourself an aneurysm, I wouldn't suggest Slackware for a laptop, though :D
            I only bring up laptops because that's what I've been using for the past 3 years.

              I use to have slackware 9 on my computer but my roomate had fedora core on cd already so it was just the easy choice. My friend highly recomends Gentoo so i might try that. this is for a desktop pc btw. thanks for the info.

                I had slackware on my laptop for a couple years. It did take forever to get working right, but once I got it going it ran beautifully.

                Gentoo is also a good choice though.
