A kernel-image.deb has many more of the possible options compiled into it than any one person would ever need, therefore it is larger and slower than one compiled with just the options that fit your preferences and your hardware. Say it is like this. The default kernel is : -rwxr-xr-x1 root root 1042807 Feb 6 20:57 vmlinuz-2.2.17 My compiled kernel is : -rw-r--r--1 root root 689499 Feb 11 23:57 vmlinuz-2.4.0 See the difference in size :-) -- Rajesh Fowkar /**\ * WebSite:http://rajesh.computers.webjump.com Email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] * Address:KURTARKAR NAGARI,BLDG-C,T4,3RD FLOOR,SHANTINAGAR,PONDA-GOA.(INDIA) * * The expert at anything was once a beginner. -Hayes /**\

The default Debian kernel-image package has everything in the world built into it. Nothing stops you from building your own kernel package (using the kernel-package package) that has just the options and drivers you need. This gives you all of the wholesome goodness of building your own kernel, plus the manageability that having things in Debian packages provides. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.mit.edu/~dmaze/ Theoretical politics is interesting.

Fw: difference b/w comipling kernel and source.deb
Another nieve question for the list. What is the differnce b/w compiling a kernel from tar form and installing a kernel-image.deb of the same version. Or do they go hand in hand. Do you need to install the kernel-image first or comaile the tar first. How does it all work?
