Maybe you would want to put this up on wiki. http://wiki.debian.org/HowToRebuildAnOfficialDebianKernelPackage [ /QUOTE ] Please, check the history of contributions ("Info" button) :-). Then you will see I have done a lot of in the section "The story of linux-kbuild-2.6". The appropriate wiki is always a good place to put such a step-by-step build-instructions. BUT I am describing a corner-case: The move to linux-tools affects Debian-kernels >=3.2, so you have to split within this wiki-section as there is for example Debian/lenny with 2.6.32-kernel. And... my base is a Linux vanilla source - I never liked that DFSG-pruned tarball - it's additional work. I respect the Debian philosophy - but I have the work - it's my time. The GPL-v2 Linux vanilla kernel-source is easier from handling for me (as I have it stored on my local hdd). An idea could be to attach my Mini-Howto TXT-file (v2 attached)... - Sedat (dileks on IRC) -
