Instead of 'make-kpkg kernel-image', I use 'make-kpkg buildpackage'. I wind up with redundant -source, -headers, etc. packages, but hey, disk is cheap. Similarly, 'make-kpkg modules' instead of modules-image. (And to get this to work, you need to generate a GPG key, which is probably a good idea anyways, and make sure that you have the right name and email in /etc/kernel-pkg.conf.) -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
