I believe the answer you're looking for is in the copy command. make <foo>config expects the config to be in ./.config so your compy command should look like this: cp /tmp/boot/config-2.6.15-1-686-smp /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.15/.config Might I also suggest for when you do further editting to pare down your kernel that you install libncurses5-dev and use 'make menuconfig' rather than using just 'make config' -- there is also an xconfig target but I don't know the requirements for that (something*qt*something-dev probably). And remember when you use make-kpkg to include the '--initrd' flag if you're mostly using Debian's config. -- Christopher Nelson -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: What is printed on the bottom of beer bottles in Minnesota?
