Hi Debian Users!
I use make-kpkg to create a new kernel-image for Knoppix and install it using dpkg.
The install will go all the way except for a Failed-config because he is trying to create an initrd.img on /boot and cannot because there is no /etc/fstab around.
There won't be a fstab because Knoppix from CD creates that on-the-fly. But everything is OK, he puts vmlinuz, etc. into /boot and creates /lib/modules/2.4.21-xfs.
But...
Now everytime when I use apt-get install he tries to re-install that kernel-image that I am already using. He displays the prose that make-kpkg creates and wants a "continue". At that point I hit Ctrl-c and he installs what I apt-getted.
Question: how can I tell him to forget about the failed-config of kernel-image-2.4.21-xfs and leave it as is. I don't want to read about kernel-image everytime I install something... Eventually I will purge it, but not now because it is my remastered kernel?

There's probably other dpkg options you could use too that won't delete everything, like --force-remove-reinstreq --force-remove-essential. man dpkg.
