I believe that the reply from Detelin Batchovski will work, but I'm wondering about your package... I've not downloaded the kernel-source-2.4.21 deb, but your result sounds like you have the same thing as you would get if you downloaded the kernel-source...orig.tar.bz and patched it with the kernel-source patch. With this, what you have is the source to create all the kernel debs themselves.. kernel-doc.. kernel-headers (I think), and the actual kernel-source deb that is to compile the kernel-image deb.. If you start with the original install that you have, and, in the top directory, issue the command "debian/rules binary" then you will get the "real" debian-source package that you can install to compile your kernel-image.. It's my assumption that this would be the "correct" way to do it, but I do believe that Detelin's suggestion can be used to get the desired result more quickly. I believe that your install already has a debian/ directory and it contains the rules file that will generate the further debs, not the kernel-image itself. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
