I ran "apt-get install fakeroot" and that went fine. I have no idea what its purpose is ... I have read about "fakeroot" but am unclear as to its need to resolve my current problem ... can you explain, please? I already have "linux-2.4.12.tar.gz" on which I ran "tar -wvvxf linux-2.4.12.tar.gz" yesterday. I notice that GRUB is looking for "linux-2.4.12.gz", at least according to one example. That file was not created when I ran the tar -wvvzf. If I run "apt-get install kernel-package" is it going to go out and find another copy of linux-2.4.12, download and install it as linux-2.4.12.tar.gz in /usr/src? In that case there is no point since I already have a slightly older copy of the same file there that isn't getting the job done. It looks as though I need to figure out how to create a "linux-2.4.12.gz" file from my "linux-2.4.12.tar.gz" (currently in /usr/src), in /boot for GRUB. Yes? Thanks! Doc
