yep: apt-get install kernel-package acquire the kernel source (perhaps via apt-get install kernel-source-version) cd /usr/src unpack kernel cd kernel directory configure kernel (perhaps via make menuconfig or make xconfig) make-kpkg --revision=5:local.1 kernel_image make-kpkg modules_image # if you need alsa, pcmcia, etc and have them installed the 5:local.1 sets the package version to local.1 with an epoch of 5. When dpkg looks at versions it first looks at the epoch, then the real version. By setting your epoch to 5 (or 10 or whatever) you guaranee that your kernel is always a larger version than Debian's and we won't replace it. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
