Stuck with headers for 2.4.26 when the current kernel is 2.4.31!

I have got the kernel source from your repository on ibiblio, but I can't successfully patch it or compile it to produce headers for compiling other modules (specifically ndiswrapper).

Can the .dsl package be updated (I know it's not official for the distro) or can a howto be pointed to or produced?

If someone can lead me to the right info, I'll write a howto myself and post it when I get it working.

Over all, a brilliant distro which has rejuvinated my Sony N505VE. All I can't work is ndiswrapper because my cards are too new for ndiwrapper 1v1.

Well done overall, though. I have installed to my HD and updated with Synaptic and it's the best mini distro I have come across so far (and I've tried many...).

Of course you cannot use 2.4.26 kernel headers with 2.4.31!
The full kernel sources for 2.4.31 are posted.
It already has been patched. It is however, other then the standard knoppix patch, a stock kernel. If you so desire go get the kernel from kernels.org.
