rebuilding the kernel and learning how to do backups. And second these
instructions need to be geared towards the individual user, not the
corporate sysadmin. The instructions out there look like they are step by
step to the old hands (I know how this works) but they really do not resolve
doubts

Hi,
Looks like using /usr/src/linux is fine but linking /usr/include/linux
and /usr/include/asm to real kernel was the problem.

Hi,
Did you read make-kpkg documentation especially by Kent West?
I think instead of reinventing wheel, suppliment existing good document
as patch bug report.
/usr/share/doc/make-kpkg/README.gz (last section is by Kent)
For this, use unstable version.
Also my Debian Reference has a (good) sum

I'm not sure that is what you want to do; what you want is your kernel source
in a folder that clearly identifies it

Look into doing something like:
tar -clzvf /home/somedir/My_backup.tar.gz /*
The "-l" ("el" not "one") option will keep tar from trying to move off
to another filesystem. You might want to leave off the -z from the
options to skip compressing the archive (name it My_backup.tar then).

Right I have just spent the last 3 evenings building a debian server (much

it has 2 hard drives a 2gb and a 18gb all the system files are mounted on
the 2 gb(sda1) /home is mounted on the 18gb(sdb2) (swap is sda1)
what is the easiest way to back up the system files (2gb s

When I followed the directions, everything worked fine. Easy as pie.

While you _can_ certainly use the LDP HOWTO instructions for building a
new kernel (and I may sure most debian users including myself have done
so), using the debian kernel package's make-kpkg should be strongly
encouraged.
An additional 'nice' feature of the process is that after you run the

Now that everything is working right, I was toying with the idea of
screwing it all up :)
Basically, I'm considering rebuilding the kernel to add in some things
I'm missing (sound) and removing some things that I don't need (SCSI
support, for one).
