I'm not sure it's easier, however, it's not harder, and it produces a .deb file at the end. It *is* easier when you need to install the nVidia drivers, because you can compile these against your kernel tree (or against the kernel headers of stock kernels) and install them as .deb files. To compile a kernel the "Debain way", install the kernel-package package and read the files in /usr/share/doc/kernel-package - particularly README.gz - for instructions. -Mary -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
