The below script should be copied and pasted into your system. When executed it will download the components you need, and then ask you whether you want to build them. This method should be slightly easier than using make for each component, and can easily be tailored to other systems.

echo "The following script assumes you have the following:
1. Performed apt-get install build-essential
2. Unpacked and Installed the Linux Source rar file from Asus
3. Unpacked the linux-source-2.6.21.4-eeepc.tar.gz file in /usr/src
4. Performed make oldconfig && make in /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.21.4-eeepc
5. Linked /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.21.4-eeepc to
     /lib/modules/2.6.21.4-eeepc/build using the ln -s command
6. Performed apt-get install libmimedir-dev libxml2-dev automake1.9 \\
        python-setuptools libexpat1-dev libpopt-dev zlib1g-dev libtool \\
        pkg-config libdbus-glib-1-dev python-dev libgnet-dev libhal-dev \\
        python-pyrex python-dbus libopensync0-dev python-libxslt1

If you have done the above then you can proceed. Do you want to proceed?"
