[App_rpt-users] Kernel Headers for RaspberryPi Stretch Image

[Mike Besemer]

Sorry Steve... should have mentioned that.

This is my initial setup for the Pi (and my first node), so I burned the Raspian Stretch image to an SD card and then followed the instructions in the readme file I mentioned below.

I can navigate the command line ok, but at this point I'm just following instructions as I find them.  From what I gathered, the image at dvswitch.org had headers which were too new and I needed to install older versions - or at least that my interpretation of the instructions.  At any rate, everything describe below worked as advertised, but when I did the reboot, I got the message that said Raspian had been updated to the latest version.  I'm wondering if that overwrote the older kernel headers I'd just installed. 

If I'm barking up the wrong tree, I don't mind regrouping... I don't have much time invested so far and this project is more about learning than it is about the final product.  To me, it seems like the things that are needed to get from zero to a working node are kind of scattered, and I'm struggling a bit with that... mostly because I can't sit for an hour or two at time to work on it right now.  

If you can lead, I'll follow!

73,

Mike

Mike,
What is it you are trying to do?
