 Sorry for my igorance, but what exactly does installing the kernel-package
 do... Does it set it up for recompiling?

Hi David,

kernel-package greatly simplifies the process of compiling a kernel. You
just configure the kernel, call make-kpkg, that builds a Debian-package
with the new kernel-image. After that you just install that package with 

$ dpkg -i kernel-image-2.2.16_???.deb

and all is fine. I have found that a lot of the errors people have with
compiling and installing the kernel disappear if they use make-kpkg. 
make-kpkg might be the second most useful debian tool besides  apt-get ;-)

bye

When its done just run make bzlilo, and then if you want to be really
careful run lilo. But make bzlilo should be enough to reboot with your new
kernel.

 I looked in the /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot but nothing. What am
 I missing here ? I installed bin86. Oh yeah Im running potato if

I would recommend to explore the beautiful world of make-kpkg delivered
as part of kernel-package:

$ apt-get install kernel-package

First of all, get the patch from 2.2.15 to 2.2.16 if you're connected to

 make dep;make clean;make bzImage;make modules;make modules_install
 then it starts to compile and when its done I cant find the bzImage.

Instead of doing it all on one command line, just simply do a make dep;
make clean; make bzImage.  I'll bet there's an error that's getting
covered up by the make modules; make modules_install.  Better yet, put
 between all the make statements so that the whole process will stop
after the first error.

Cheers,
Chris
