As root do bilbo:~# apt-get install kernel-source-2.2.14 libc6-dev gcc make \ bin86 fakeroot If you want a curses based menu to configure your kernel, something I'd heartily recommend (haven't tried xmenuconfig, though), also do bilbo:~# apt-get install libncurses5-dev Then as you do [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ tar -xIf /usr/src/kernel-source-2.2.14.tar.bz2 This puts a kernel-source-2.2.14 directory in your home directory. This is the top linux source directory make-kpkg is talking about. The rest is in the docs ... BTW, there is absolutely _no_ reason to extract the source code into /usr/src somewhere. Personally, I think that goes against the grain of the FHS anyway. -- Olaf Meeuwissen Epson Kowa Corporation, Research and Development
