I believe that there is only one source package for all the various 2.4.18 precompiled kernels. The precompiled kernels differ in the .config file that was used with the source. If you have bf2.4 installed you can find a copy of the .config file that was used to produce it in /boot/config-2.4.18-bf2.4 This, plus the source, plus make-kpkg enables you to recreate bf2.4 . If you have to do some compiling of kernel stuff, I suggest that you first recreate bf2.4 . You need to do this so that you become expert enough to have some chance of success on your real problem. Be sure to modify the name of your creation, so that you can keep yours separate from the real bf2.4. Make-kpkg does a lot of the work for you. Use it. -- Paul E Condon [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
