Re: Kernel compiling on Debian

2000-12-16 Thread Hall Stevenson

Kernel compiling on Debian

2000-12-16 Thread Hall Stevenson
What is the "debian way" of compiling a kernel ?? I've read mentions of using something like "kernel-pkg" or similar. Can someone point to a website with details ?? Or, can I simply download the kernel source and do it the way I've always done it with "lesser" distros ;-) ?? Thanks in advance Hall
