when you apt-get source, it goes into the directory you are calling it from. so /usr/local/src is ok. Altough i would put everything in a subdirectory of it. The stuff you have to download, and particularly the kernel-source package, go into /usr/src/kernel-source... That is, you need to apt-get _install_ kernel-source , or better yet, apt-get build-dep kernel-patch-2.4.22-powerpc. > 2) Do I need to trash something before trying again? huh ? > 3) Where do I execute dpkg-buildpackage once every is in place?

"normal", kernel source: > make menuconfig > make-kpkg clean > make-kpkg --revision=custom.1.0 kernel_image > dpkg -i ../kernel-image-2.4.22-subarch_custom.1.0_powerpc.deb No, if you do dpkg-buildpackage, it will do all the needed things to build the kernel. In your case, i would instead got the kernel-source tarball, unpack it somewhere, apply by hand the bitkeeper.diff.gz (not sure this is needed for oldpmac though) and then apply the bridge patch. Alternatively you could get yourself a standard tree, either the linux.org one, or one of the linuxppc ones, and then apply the bridge patch there, and then build using make-kpkg.
