Joerg is running kernel version 2.4.3. He is compiling another kernel version 2.4.3 "make-kpkg --revision=custom.1.0 kernel_image" is exactly what he needs in order to create a 2.4.3 kernel with a revised name. Otherwise he is right, his original kernel will be overwritten. kent -- From seeing and seeing the seeing has become so exhausted First line of "The Panther" - R. M. Rilke
