Package: linux-source-2.6.20 (2.6.20-17.36)

Linux kernel source for version 2.6.20 with Ubuntu patches

This package provides the source code for the Linux kernel version 2.6.20.

You may configure the kernel to your setup by typing "make config" and following instructions, but you could get ncursesX.X-dev and try "make menuconfig" for a jazzier, and easier to use interface. There are options to use QT or GNOME based configuration interfaces, but they need additional packages to be installed. Also, please read the detailed documentation in the file /usr/share/doc/linux-source-2.6.20/README.headers.gz.

If you wish to use this package to create a custom Linux kernel, then it is suggested that you investigate the package kernel-package, which has been designed to ease the task of creating kernel image packages.

If you are simply trying to build third-party modules for your kernel, you do not want this package. Install the appropriate linux-headers package instead.
