The "-ide" denotes the "flavour" of the image package, i.e. what features are built into the kernel contained in the package. The -ide image was built from the plain 2.2.18pre21 sources with a patch applied for UDMA66 support. To build you own kernel which includes this patch, you need the plain sources and the package containing the patch: apt-get install kernel-source-2.2.18pre21 kernel-patch-2.2.18pre21-ide You may however want to get version 2.2.19 of these packages, as there are some security issues which affect 2.2.18pre21 (see <URL:http://www.debian.org/security/2001/dsa-047>). For details of how to build a patched kernel-image package, see the documentation of `kernel-package'. -- Leonard Stiles <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
