Actually I found it quite terrifying. It was quite a long way to go about describing a system that was designed to make kernel compiling easier in the first place. I learned about make-kpkg from a few posts about how to (1) wget http://kernel/linux.tgz (2) untar linux.tgz (3) cd linux/ (4) "make xconfig" (5) make-kpkg --put-your-useless-options-here (6) watch TV (7) dpkg -i spanking_new_kernel.deb.(8) reboot and pray. It would be another matter if he had written a Very Verbose Guide to Compiling Your Kernel the Non-Debian Way. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
