Does kernel-image-2.4.26-1-686-smp meet your needs in all ways except that it only supports 4G? If so, use the .config file that comes with it as a starting point for making a .config for your own build. It will save a lot of time understanding build options that have already been worked out by the debian maintainer. Then use make-kpkg to do the grubby details of the build. It is easy to build your own kernel, but except in situations like yours, it seldom is necessary within debian. -- Paul E Condon [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
