If yes, how?
make-kpkg can do that with ease. "make-kpkg --append-to-version -patched kernel_image" would create a Debian kernel package with that name and you would have /lib/modules/2.4.19-patched, which can coexist with the original /lib/modules/2.4.19. See the man page section on "--append-to-version" for details. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
