I worked some more on this. I could not get make-kpkg to make modules even though that capability is clearly indicated in the man page. I wanted to make it work because I have been messed up before by mixing two different procedures. In this case the solution to my problem was, simply to do: make modules make modules_install With this approach, a modules_image debian package is never created, which seems not to be what is intended by the Debian approach. Has the Debian approach worked for anyone who wants a full install, including modules? Take care in answering yes. If you try on a system that already has the correct set of modules installed, you may never notice that the script is failing. I suspect there is a bug here. I hope someone can point out to me what I was doing wrong. -- Paul E Condon [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
