After you're make xcondif or make menuconfig, you can type in: make-kpkg clean make-kpkg --append-to-version=.010603 kernel_image All this can be done using fakeroot (or as root user) The --append-to-version parameter will be used in the name, directly after the .2.4.18 part This will create a .deb package (in /usr/src) Well, I never did this to make a bf2.4 to be honest, but I am only telling you what I read/heard. BTW a great doc on this is http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/system/kernel-pkg.html I hope this helps, Joris __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
