I can only second that. I simply ignore any distro specific kernel handling and override the grub/yaboot entries as I desire. I also ignore any rpm or deb for installing a kernel. I do it this way since the very beginning and it works fine on debian and non-debian distros. In general, I do always ignore the packet manager, but install custom compiled software in a specific directory so it does not interfere in any way with the distro packets. -- Greetings Michael. _______________________________________________ Bcm43xx-dev mailing list Bcm43xx-dev@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/bcm43xx-dev
