Probably the easiest way to accomplish this in the future (and more "Debian-style" as well) is to use the kernel-package package to create a .deb on the first machine, then use dpkg --install to install it on the other machine. (This also happens to be how the "standard" kernel-image-2.x.x packages are generated.) Here is the description: kernel-package - Debian Linux kernel package build scripts. This package provides the capability to create a debian kernel-image package by just running make-kpkg kernel_image in a kernel source directory tree. It can also build the kernel source package as a debian file, the kernel headers package. In general, this package is very useful if you need to create a custom kernel, if, for example, the default kernel does not support some of your hardware, or you wish a leaner, meaner kernel. If you are running on an intel x86 platform, and you wish to compile a custom kernel (why else are you considering this package?), then you may need the package bin86 as well. (This is not required on other platforms). > Do I need to move more files than just the kernel? If you compiled anything as a module, it will need to be installed on the new machine as well. However, kernel-package takes care of all of that for you automatically. I recommend looking into it. # apt-get update;apt-get install kernel-package;lynx /usr/doc/kernel-package BTW, I used it to create a "remote" kernel just today for that matter. :-) -- PGP Public Key available on request: Type Bits/KeyID Date User ID pub 1024/CFED2D11 1998/03/05 Lazarus Long <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Key fingerprint = 98 2A 56 34 16 76 D5 21 39 93 99 EA 89 D4 B5 A2
