Build the kernel normally using kernel-package, configuring it for the target machine. (http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/ has what seems to be the canonical Debian kernel compilation how-to these days.) When you're done, you should have a kernel-image-*.deb file; copy it to the target machine using scp or some such. Then log in as root on the target machine and use 'dpkg --install' to install the kernel. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
