Nope, just get the latest source, extract and configure it, then run 'fakeroot make-kpkg kernel_image' and you'll get a kernel-image...deb file -- you don't even need to do 'make-kpkg clean' first if you don't want to. I'm happily doing this for various patchsets against 2.6 and 2.6 mainline on a number of computers with no problems. -- Ryan Schultz -> floating point exception: divide by cucumber -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
