* Nils Rennebarth | Instead of creating lots of different kernel-image packages what about | a package that can create a kernel-image from source and gives you a list of | some more or less generic kernel to choose from?
Abusing debconf, since it is such a nice interface. ;) I'd prefer if Herbert were to maintain this, since he is already doing all the different kernel configs. It's really easy: #! /bin/sh . /usr/share/debconf/confmodule db_input critical kernelconfig/config || true db_go db_get kernelconfig/config if [ "$RET" = "i386" ]; then cp /usr/share/kernel-configs/config.i386 /usr/src/linux/.config elif [ "$RET" = "i486" ]; then cp /usr/share/kernel-configs/config.i486 /usr/src/linux/.config fi db_purge -------------- You get the idea. The template file which goes with it is something like: Template: kernelconfig/config Type: select Default: i386 Choices: i386, i486, i586, i686, i686-smp Description: Which config file? Please choose the config file you would like to use when compiling -- Tollef Fog Heen Unix _IS_ user friendly... It's just selective about who its friends are.
