But should patches not be applied before the command 'make menuconfig'? I ask because I always use 'make-kpkg' after 'make menuconfig'.
What does 'apply that (kernel-patches) on the top of the Debian kernel source' mean? Do I have to 'bunzip2' the file 'patch-2.6.6-1.bz2' from '/usr/src/ kernel-patches/all/2.6.6/debian/' into '/usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.6' and then 'patch -p1 patch-2.6.6-1' and then 'make menuconfig'.
