Thanks Russell! I did not know about the reference you quoted. But... I did not explain well enough!
I do NOT want to remove the kernel-image package because it will remove my kernel which works very well. I just want "him" not to try to reinstall, because it is already installed, except for the initrd image which does not matter because it is not used by Knoppix! I cannot believe nobody else has run into this, they must not use make-kpkg nor the booted Knoppix CD to customize a kernel. Reading man dpkg I do not see an option that says: "do not try to reinstall the package"... Thanks again! Hugo Vanwoerkom __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
