I am going to try to make packages of recent kernels.... Iīm looking into Debianīs build system (actually chose something awful to start with, php4, which is apparently orphaned an incredibly difficult to build) and the kernel system seems much simpler... but again... # apt-cache search kernel-source-2.4.17 kernel-source-2.4.17 - Linux kernel source for version 2.4.17 kernel-source-2.4.17-hppa - Linux kernel source for version 2.4.17 on HPPA kernel-source-2.4.17-ia64 - Linux kernel source for version 2.4.17 on IA-64 Can I use the kernel-source-2.4.17 source package to begin with? Or do I need a BenH kernel? > But for the debian kernels, just browse kernel-image packages, and use > apt-get to install.

Is there some way smarter than this to install new kernel? 1) Compile and get new vmlinuz and upload somewhere 2) Shutdown and go into MacOS; download previusly uploaded, setup BootX 3) Boot from BootX, repeat Can I somehow mount the MacOS partition and write vmlinuz there? Also, on i386 (sorry guys I come from there) thereīs all those initrd and cramfs stuff... how does this fit in? Thanks again! Ricardo
