[plug] Cisco VPN client installation problems

[caston at arach.net.au]

Hello,

First time I show my face here after my "final post" to the off-topic list.

At uni now I'm finding it much easier to study and get work done on assignments
if I go an hide in the library than it is if I try to do them at home. The only
problem is that I haven't yet got the Cisco VPN client working. I also tried
vpnc but that seemed to reject the IPsec group password even though I throught I
had decoded it.

I am running kubuntu. uname -a

This is more or less what happens when I try to install the Cisco VPN client:

Directory where binaries will be installed [/usr/local/bin]

Automatically start the VPN service at boot time [yes]n

In order to build the VPN kernel module, you must have the
kernel headers for the version of the kernel you are running.


Directory containing linux kernel source code [/lib/modules/2.6.15-1-k7/build]

* Binaries will be installed in "/usr/local/bin".
* Modules will be installed in "/lib/modules/2.6.15-1-k7/CiscoVPN".
* The VPN service will *NOT* be started automatically at boot time.
* Kernel source from "/lib/modules/2.6.15-1-k7/build" will be used to build the
module.

Is the above correct [y]y
