Description: Debian Linux kernel package build scripts.
This package provides the capability to create a debian
kernel-image package by just running make-kpkg kernel_image in a
kernel source directory tree. It can also build the kernel source
package as a debian file, the kernel headers package. In general, this
package is very useful if you need to create a custom kernel, if, for
example, the default kernel does not support some of your hardware, or
you wish a leaner, meaner kernel.
.
If you are running on an intel x86 platform, and you wish to compile a
custom kernel (why else are you considering this package?), then you may
need the package bin86 as well. (This is not required on other platforms).
^^^^^^
Install bin86 :)
