Look at the package 'make-kpkg'. The principle is something like /usr/src$ tar -zxf linux-2.4.23.tar.gz /usr/src$ cp linux-2.4.22/.config linux-2.4.23 /usr/src$ cd linux-2.4.23 /usr/src/linux-2.4.23$ make oldconfig /usr/src/linux-2.4.23$ fakeroot make-kpkg kernel_image modules_image .. and dpkg -i the .deb that appears in /usr/src . -- Jon Dowland http://jon.dowland.name/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
