You've ga a kernel as .tar file this file is zipped are this file include the kernel-header and also the kernel-source, if so all you have to do:
unpack the tar file tar xvzf 2.0.36.tgz look what is the result mayby in `/usr/src' ln -s linux kernel-source-2.0.36 after that the `/usr/src' tree eventually looks this drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 1024 Nov 3 14:04 kernel-headers-2.0.36 -rw-r--r-- 1 root src 662122 Nov 10 04:04 kernel-image-2.0.36_custom.1.0_i386.deb drwxr-xr-x 16 root root 1024 Nov 11 16:33 kernel-source-2.0.36 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 1024 Nov 2 03:55 liblockdev-0.9 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root src 20 Nov 3 16:25 linux -> kernel-source-2.0.36 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root src 20 Nov 3 14:19 linux-2.0.36 -> kernel-source-2.0.36 drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 1024 Nov 2 03:53 redhat than go to /usr/src/linux and use make menuconfig make-kpkg after that use (assume you stay already in /usr/src/linux) dpkg -i ../kernel-image-X.XXX_1.0_<arch>.deb eg dpkg -i ../kernel-image-2.0.36_custom.1.0_i386.deb reboot the system Please note, if You are using ISDN don't update, there is no compatible isdnutils for this kernel today -- Cheers Peter
