I found nothing new when executing the following after running 'tar -xzf linux-2.4.12.tar.gz' : cd / find -name kernel-image* All it found was a bunch of old 2.2.18 stuff in /var/lib/dpkg/info and other old 2.2.18 stuff in /usr/share/doc and /usr/doc What else if necessary to create the necessary 2.4.12 *.deb file I need to proceed? Thanks! Doc
