Hi, you can do it with ordinary make menuconfig; make dep; make bzImage; make modules; make modules_install, but there is a 'debian' way. Here it is:
# apt-get install kernel-source-2.2.17 kernel-package libc6-dev bin86 libncurses5-dev gcc fakeroot dpkg-dev bzip2 add tk8.2-dev if you want to use xconfig Then as a user: $ tar -xIvf /usr/src/kernel-source-2.2.17.tar.bz2 $ cd kernel-soucre-2.2.17 $ make-kpkg clean $ make menuconfig $ fakeroot make-kpkg --revision=9:mykernel.1 kernel_image After compilation, you can install the kernel: # dpkg -i kernel-image-2.2.17_mykernel.1_i386.deb Greetz, Sebastiaan On Sun, 14 Jan 2001, William Leese wrote: > Hello all, > > i wish to build a kernel but i've read somewhere that things cant be done > quite the same way as with other (rpm-based) distros because it would confuse > apt-get. can someone fill me in on this or point me to some debian specific > documentation? > > William Leese > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
