A couple of quick comments. 1) The pcmcia option merits special mention, since by default it is turned on (at least for the kernels I have used) and you explictly need to turn it off if you aren't using it, otherwise the compilation will halt before it begins. You could give directions on how to turn it off. 2) By the way, isn't it better to do the kernel image and the third party modules separately? Usually I do a fakeroot make-kpkg modules-clean before fakeroot make-kpkg modules-image which is what the kernel-package README recommends. 3) You could mention the --added_modules option in 8.3 for use with modules-image or modules-clean. It is in the man page, but I didn't notice its existence for quite some time. Faheem. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
