Hi, I have read a very different way to compile a new kernel. $ cd /tmp $ tar -xIvf /usr/src/kernel-souce-2.2.17.tar.bz2 $ c cd 2.2.17 $ make-kpkg clean $ make menuconfig $ fakeroot make-kpkg --revision=9:mykernel kernel_image
If it is correct, there is a net .deb packet in /tmp: cp /tmp/kernel-image-2.2.17_mykernel_i386.deb /home/user/ Now as root: # dpkg -i /home/user/kernel-image-2.2.17_mykernel_i386.deb This will install your new kernel. Check lilo and look out for updates in /lib/modules/2.2.17, I do not remember how this is handled. Every step that you did being a user can also be done on another computer, so you can compile kernels on a fast computer for a slower one.
