One more step towards a debian way would be doing : $ make xconfig $ fakeroot make-kpkg ..... $ sudo dpkg -i ../kernel......... #by the way, you need to set up yourself as a sudoers, using visudo. #and need the packages fakeroot and sudo. and probably doing it in your $home directory. Whats more ... if, for example you do... (example session) $ mkdir for486 $ cd for486 $ tar xvIz ../linux-2.2.13.tar.bz2 $ cd linux $ make xconfig $ fakeroot make-kpkg --revision for486.1.0 binary-arch #note that you don't need to become root, or have any permission to become #one here... and copy the .deb file over to the machine, you can safely make a kernel for your 486 machine, without changing your main Pentium machine configuration. Finding this out after a long while of hacking around with the "Debian way", I thought this must make it into the FAQ. The FAQ doesn't say much about it (in slink). Kernel-package docs say a bit more. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- dancer, a.k.a.
