Well, if you take the already packaged version out of the archive, you just need to : dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -uc And it flies, after installing build-essential, fakeroot and the linux-2.6 build-deps. i do use dpkg-buildpackage in a clean sid chroot specially created for this purpose, but don't use any kind of debuild/pbuilder/whatever frontends, so maybe there is some problem with the frontend you are using ? In any case, the autobuilders seem to have no trouble with it, so it should run fine, at least in the -B case. > I must be missing something here, please enlighten me. What is your problem again, now that we sorted the menuconfig out ? Friendly, Sven Luther -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
