Re: Installation procedure

I think it's pretty easy under debian, something like:

sudo module-assistant auto-install comedi-source

...that should grab and install the comedi kernel modules.

Then all you need is the library, you can either install the library
package (i think it's called libcomedi...) or just go grab it off the
website and build/install it yourself.  (untar, ./configure, make, sudo
make install)  I prefer the latter method because then you get the
test/demo programs in the tarball...
