This point ... : I've never cared to learn the : "Debian way" when "make dep ; make clean ; make zlilo ; shutdown -r now" : works so well. ... has nothing to do with this one. Your first point is addressed quite nicely by Manoj's README in the kernel-package docs. Your second point is a matter of semantics between using make-kpkg or not, and therefore isn't really worth debating. I "grew up" with Slackware too; I find the ability to put the kernel and its associated modules in a deb file, but then I use one machine to compile kernels for the various machines we have, since it's much faster. -- Nathan Norman MidcoNet 410 South Phillips Avenue Sioux Falls, SD mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.midco.net finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] for PGP Key: (0xA33B86E9)
