I think you misunderstand something here. The beauty of the current scheme is that you can do exactly that! Just unpack the main kernel sources, unpack the kernel-package (not kernel- source or kernel-image) on top of it, make config, debian.rules kernel_image, and dpkg -i kernel-image-whatever (but check the docs for the spelling, this is off my head!). There's no need to wait for someone making a kernel-image-*.deb for you. You can make one yourself. > But neither I nor some others install the Debian kernels. We like > building our own. Again, there's no conflict. Really. Just have a look at it. MfG Kai
