Yes, do this in the kernel-source directory /usr/src/kernel-patches/m68k/2.2.25/apply/apply > Or should make-kpkg do this for me? make-kpkg only builds the image and module packages, it does not apply patches AFAIK. > More importantly, is there a debian kernel-building how-to somewhere > that explains how patches are applied, modules built, and so forth? > > Most seem to be basic guides for general kernel building.

Sometimes that is easier than finding the documentation. With make-kpkg I basically only need two commands: "make-kpkg kernel-image" to build the kernel image, and "make-kpkg modules-image" to build the module images. All the other tricks you can learn from kernel-image source packages, or from the new linux-2.6 package, if you want it to be a little more challenging. For building my own kernel images, however, the two make-kpkg commands have always been sufficient. Christian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
