Re: make-kpkg questions
You should be able to achieve what you want by editing /usr/share/kernel-package/rules and the various preinst, postinst, prerm and postrm scripts. Also see 'man kernel-pkg.conf' for a way to put vmlinuz in /boot instead of /. It sounds like it may be easier to let it install per the defaults and then run a script which renames the files (and edits lilo.conf).

make-kpkg questions
Hi! Just learned to use make-kpkg, *but*, I want to do some things differently: 1. How do I tell it not to create a /vmlinuz symlink in the root directory? I want my root directory clean (i.e no files at all) (Also, it complained when there wasn't a /vmlinuz already, thought I was doing a new install) 2. How do I tell it to use another name for my kernels image file (I've never really liked "vmlinuz" anyway)? -- \\// peter - http://www.softwolves.pp.se/ - and God said: nohup make World >& World.log &
