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.
