Why not just get the sources and use kernel-package to make your own custom kernel package? Description: Debian Linux kernel package build scripts. This package provides the capability to create a debian kernel-image package by just running make-kpkg kernel_image in a kernel source directory tree. It is fairly easy to use. Just go into the kernel directory, make menuconfig (or X config or whatever you do to configure your kernel), make-kpkg --revision [custom name] binary-arch. For me it is make-kpkg --revision teleute.x binary-arch. x being the revision of that kernel and teleute is the machine name for the which the kernel is being compiled. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
