Ok, I think I got it. Debian seems to provide a combined kernel-compile-install routine with the help of kernel-package. I didn't know that, in fact I would rather keep the old way and not access the help of all these whisles and bells. Additionally, I have the impression that every distribution wants to go 'their way', a reason way I actually stayed away from SuSe, even Redhat seems to have changed their previous path. As I previously stated, the image cannot be found in src/../boot/.. and I would really like to understand why the current 2.2.17 kernel is a exe while my old 2.0.38 kernel is 'simple' binary file? Would someone help without just referring to a tool? Thanks Robert
