Hi All, I would love to go the Debian way but I need the 2.6.11.7 kernel to connect to a usb drive which I cannot get going with a Debian precompiled kernel. Thanks for all your help.
PS The only program I really want to use is faubackup to back up onto the usb drive. I have been able to compile the 2.6.11.7 kernel with usable usb drivers but the faubackup program does not use symlinks on this drive. "make-kpkg kernel_source" does not produce a .deb package. I have produced a kernel binary .deb package. How do I install that?
