Where would I be able to find missing files? When I was compiling a file it said it was missing "/usr/src/linux/drivers/8390.h" Thanks

Do you have your kernel source installed? What is 8390?

I was compiling my network card drivers..don't know what 8390.h is, just know its required for ne2k-pci.o, I'm running Suse 7.0 if that helps. I don't think I have the kernal source installed...When I checked for the directory it didn't exist. Also later on in the directions it says add something to /etc/rc.modules, but I don't have that file either. Thanks

Install the source and try again.

I think my rc.modules is in /etc/rc.d/init.d but they vary from distro to distro. Do a find or locate rc.modules. Just because the file is not in /etc does not mean it does not exist. Use your commandline utilities or GUI File Manager to search for files.

Explore your filesystem to familiarize yourself with it.

Do a search for that file. You may have to point the make file to it. The real dir of your kernal mods may be somewheres like /usr/src/linux-<yer kernal version>/...etc.
Not just /usr/src/linux/ .Hope that helps.
As mentioned before, explore your installation.

Well, I took a look around and it was /usr/src/linux-2.2.16/ but there was no drivers directory when I went into the other directories too. I went into some folder that seemed to have a bunch of drivers but not the one I needed. How can I install teh source again?

Ok I installed the source and it compiled fine, but I cant find rc.modules? Is there a package I can install for that or something equivalent to that on Suse 7.0?

What does it say in the Suse documentation that's installed with your distro? You should be able to find some documentation that talks about the system startup scripts. Either that or check the website for what to use for the startup file. Unless there's some Suse users around that can help.

What you need to do is read the NHF's here.

Found this http://www.linuxnewbie.org/nhf/intel/distros/suse/susshd2.html

Mentions /sbin/init.d while mine is /etc/rc.d/init.d

Don't know if they are functionally the same though. You'll have to do some more research.
