It is maybe harder in the beginning, but once you get used to it is really easier in my opinion. Why? Because you can easily go back to previously built kernels; you still have the .debs in /usr/src, so it makes it rather flexible. And yes, I've got xawtv running using 2.6.5 if I am correct (I am

i find it easier. have you followed instruction in the Debian handbook and installed kernel 2.6 and successfully run xawtv? if so, i will have to try debian way, which i find harder. --- Pim Bliek <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > > i read the Debian book, but it explicitly says: > > > > "

First of all, you shouldn't be compiling kernels from source from kernel.org unless you have a special reason for it and you what you are doing. Instead, you should be installing / compiling new kernels "the Debian way", which is slightly different, but is quite cool once you get the hang of it :)

2004-07-09 Thread j smith
i have Debian 2.6, Bt878-based TV card. i downloaded kernel 2.6 from kernel.org, and compile it. when i execute "make module_install", it complains. needless to say, when i use the new kernel, it can't find bttv driver. attached is .config, what's wrong? _
