I don't know about potato, but in woody, the easiest way is: (as root) # apt-get install kernel-source-2.4.18 kernel-package fakeroot (now login as normal user, after adding him to group 'src') # cd /usr/src (move old sources out of the way, and delete/rename 'linux' symlink) # tar -xvjf kernel-source-2.4.18.tar.bz2 # ln -s kernel-source-2.4.18 linux # cd linux # make xconfig # fakeroot (time) make-kpkg --revision=marcelo.0.1 kernel_image now installing your new kernel (as root, of course) is as easy as # dpkg -i /usr/src/kernel-image-2.4.18_marcelo.0.1_i386.deb -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

When dpkg looks at versions it first looks at the epoch, then the real version. By setting your epoch to 5 (or 10 or whatever) you guaranee that your kernel is always a larger version than Debian's and we won't replace it. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: kernel compile in woody
Hi! I've always been compiling the kernel without use of make-kpkg etc., and so it just stayed the same for me. But I also think that the make-kpkg way has stayed the same. I've recommended it to some friends and I did it like this in woody (on my friends' machines): -make-kpkg --bzimage --config menuconfig binary-arch (or similar) -install the package you get. Dunno this is exactly the same as in potato but as I said, I think it should not be any different.

The easiest way, IMHO, is to use the kernel-package method, which is well documented in /usr/doc/kernel-package/README after you have that package installed. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
