after getting the _tarball_ ready (as described above), you may want to use kernel-package to rock your kernel. (apt-get install kernel-package.) then: # make menuconfig; make-kpkg clean; make-kpkg --revision=custom.1.0 kernel_image (make sure you have ncurses (if you want to use "menuconfig.") (apt-get install ncurses) when it's done, install your newly rocked kernel: # cd .. # dpkg -i kernel* reboot. (before you start, you may want to have a boot disk handy.) good luck. bentley taylor.
