cd /usr/src tar xjvf kernel-source-2.4.18.tar.bz2 cd kernel-source-2.4.18 make <config|xconfig|menuconfig> make-kpkg --revision mymachine.1 --bzimage kernel_image make-kpkg --revision mymachine.1 --bzimage modules_image cd ../nvidia-glx-1.0.2880 dpkg-buildpackage cd .. dpkg -i kernelimage-2.4.18_mymachine.1_i386.deb dpkg -i nvidia-glx_1.0.2880-3_i386.deb nvidia-glx-dev_1.0.2880-3_i386.deb The above assumes you have the prereqs required to install all that stuff, and, of course, you have the kernel-package and dpkg-dev packages installed. There may be more elegant solutions, but that's how I do it, to the best of my recollection anyway. Gary -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
