Hi

I just built a kernel based on the steps below and got this
linux-image-2.6.16.060919_2.6.16.060919-10.00.Custom_i386.deb

my quetion is why this "2.6.16.060919_2.6.16.060919" and not just
"2.6.16.060919"?

It's necessary to pack the version into the package name. If all 2.6.16 kernels were 'linux-image-2.6.16', you couldn't install two at the same time.
