--append-to-version is good if you want to run several slightly tweaked versions of the same kernel. This lets you install them all without having name conflicts. fakeroot make-kpkg --append-to-version=-something --revision=some-rev kernel_image yields a .deb called (for a 2.6.0-test1 kernel): kernel-image-2.6.0-test1-something_some-rev_i386.deb It will also place your modules in /lib/modules/2.6.0-test1-something I actually have two 2.6.0-test1 kernels installed on my machine: 2.6.0-test1-alsa (--append-to-version=-alsa) 2.6.0-test1-oss (--append-to-version=-oss) Obviously, one uses the old OSS sound drivers and the other uses the new ALSA drivers. I use the revision field to put the compile date in there. BTW, the revision field only shows up in dpkg (or deselect, aptitude, or other .deb management tools). -Roberto ___________________________________________________ Yahoo!
