package listing on debian is down. I am using
Linux version 2.4.22-1-386 ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 3.3.2
20030908 (Debian prerelease)) #9 Sat Oct 4 14:30:39 EST 2003
cpu- AMD 2700+ Athlon ABIT NF7 Nvidia chipset Nvidia Nforce2 I want to recompile or try new kernel ( if it would be better) so usb will work- usb webcam, usb printer, usb storage and usb linksys wirelessnetwork adaptor I have had all of these working in GNU/Linux before except linksys wireless adaptor. I have never used debian kernel utils to compile kernel. just the make menuconfig way Would it be better to use debian packages & debian way of installing kernel?
I think so. Use it all the time: apt-get install kernel-package
then read man make-kpkg, but generally
make menuconfig and make-kpkg --revision 1 (or something similar) kernel_image
will get you a .deb file that you dpkg -i it will install the new kernel in the places needed, then just boot.
Only thing is to remember to do make-kpkg clean if you remake a kernel_image because you changed the configuration.
Hugo.
