As root: $EDITOR /etc/kernel-pkg.conf maintainer := Your Name email := [EMAIL PROTECTED] priority := Low debian := 1yourfantasy0 /your/kernel/archiv must be rw by your user cd /your/kernel/archiv download the wanted kernel from www.kernel.org tar -xjf kernel-version.tar.bz cd linux-version make-kpkg debian dch -i Type your changes to the changelog like: "New vanilla upstream" cp /boot/config-whatever .config make menuconfig to custom your kernel make-kpkg build fakeroot make-kpkg kernel-image If you you want to compile some modules in extra (mol, nvidia, .......) fakeroot make-kpkg kernel-image modules_image The special terms for the package name will be taken from /etc/kernel-pkg.conf.
