Hi, make-kpkg takes all the steps that you took, and, additionally, tells dselect/dpkg and friends that you have the kernel installed, and it installs documentation in /usr/doc. It also adds an easy method to remove it all cleanly, and warns you if you try to remove a running kernel or a kernel that is mentioned in your lilo.conf file.
You have done the kernel install flawlessly; make-kpkg is there to ensure that the rest of us can install the kernel, even before our first cup of coffee. It is a convenience measure (but then again, all non machine code languages are convenience measure ;-) manoj -- All snakes who wish to remain in Ireland will please raise their right hands.
