Here is what I did: install the kernel-source-2.2.20.tar.bz2 install the kernel-patch-debianlogo tar xvfj kernel-source-2.2.20.tar.bz2 ln -s /usr/src/kernel-source-2.2.20/ /usr/src/linux cd /usr/src/linux Regrading man make-kpkg and /usr/share/doc/kernel-source-2.2.20/debian.README.gz you have to add "patch_the_kernel=YES" in /etc/kernel-pkg.conf Now run: fakeroot make-kpkg --revision=3:custom.1.0 --config=menuconfig kernel_image and the patch will be included. > The real question for me is why '--added-patches=debianlogo' is not > enough. Is it some typo too obvious to be seen ? The --added-patches option is set to give you the chance to choose a special/single patch if there are existing more of them Regards Oliver -- ... don't touch the bang bang fruit -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
