My book does not talk about "kernel workings" (which would be an entire book of its own), but it covers pretty much all aspects of Debian kernel handling: what the different kernel-* packages are (starting with 2.6.12, that's linux-*!), when and why they are needed, how they are supposed to be used, and it shows how to use make-kpkg to create Debian kernel images, apply kernel patches, and create modules for existing kernels. Finally, it explains Debian's approach to modules and how module-assistant makes an administrator's (and maintainer's life) much easier. So yeah, if you already know how to compile kernels and you are looking for the Debian Way, you'll find answers in my book. -- Please do not send copies of list mail to me; I read the list! .''`. martin f. krafft <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : :' : proud Debian developer and author: http://debiansystem.info `. `'` `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing a system Invalid/expired PGP (sub)keys?
