I'm trying to build a driver using the live CD so I can make sure it

/lib/modules/2.6.15, but there is no "build" directory in it. Is
there a package that I need to install to get that to appear?

Thanks,

the command you need:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential

you'll need a network connection for this. it will download and install
the kernel headers (package name: linux-headers) that you need, as well
as the make utility and so on.

Or (though you might like Rodin) you might as well avoid "The Gates of
