iI'm now mulling over http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/powerpc/ch-post-install.en.html which conflicts with kernel-image-2.4.18-powerpc: The former says, "To compile a kernel the Debian way, you need some packages: kernel-package, kernel-source-2.2.20 (the most recent version at the time of this writing), fakeroot and a few others which are probably already installed (see /usr/share/doc/kernel-package/README.gz for the complete list)." However; Kultarr:~/kernel/21# dpkg --status kernel-image-2.4.18-powerpc Package: kernel-image-2.4.18-powerpc Status: install ok installed Priority: optional Section: base Installed-Size: 27412 Maintainer: Daniel Jacobowitz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Source: kernel-patch-2.4.18-powerpc The manual I'm pretty sure is right for IA32, but I don't see how kernel-patch fits in. > -- Cheers John Summerfield Please, no off-list mail at all at all.
