I think most people will suggest you use the "make-kpkg" utility. It will create a "*.deb" file which you can copy to the laptop. Then just "dpkg --install kernel-package-custom.deb" and it will install things where they need to go. You could do what you want by hand, but the above is likely the easiest way. Hall
