Please dont. Providing of userspace headers is the task of a distribution. Many dsitros provide their own, maintained and working sets of kernel headers in userspace. Please depend on them (you dont want to upkeep the linux headers in your cvs everytime linus releases aa new version). Redhat uses its own glibc-kernheaders, while debian has left its own version of glibc-kernheaedrs and they help maintain PLD's linux-libc-headers which will probably become the standard (apart from PLD afair ubuntu already uses it and debian is planning - thats what the maintainer of llh told me). Releases are available here: http://ep09.pld-linux.org/~mmazur/linux-libc-headers/ and the http://ep09.pld-linux.org/~mmazur/linux-libc-headers/doc/FAQ might answer further questions if not just mail me or mmazur@pld-linux.org -- Piotr Szymanski djurban@pld-linux.org
