this question belongs on debian-user, not debian-devel. type: export MAKE='make -j3' before running make-kpkg. note that the kernel is known to have problems compiling reliably when you use make -j. this won't be fixed until Keith Owens and others have got their fixed kernel build system into the kernel tree - that won't happen until 2.5.x i believe. i've successfully compiled several kernels using -j3, but it's not something i'd want to rely on at the moment. craig -- craig sanders <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> GnuPG Key: 1024D/CD5626F0 Key fingerprint: 9674 7EE2 4AC6 F5EF 3C57 52C3 EC32 6810 CD56 26F0
