make-kpkg

[Antonio Rodriguez]

To use the make-kpkg (kernel-package) it is said that must be used in a
top linux source directory. What exactly does it mean? An empty
directory with only some file such as
kernel-source-2.2.14_2.2.14-4_all.deb?
I want to make my own kernel.
Thanks,
AR (not too newby, but not too good at this either)
