Hi there !
Now that we already have a Mandrake version of Apt, how about a port of
another great Debian tool: make-kpkg
As far as I know, this script automates most of your kernel building
procedure.
Just do these steps (in Debian, yet ;-)) :
1. cd /usr/src/linux
2. make xconfig (same as here)
3. make-kpkg -revision=mykernel.1.0
-> this creates a .deb-package of your kernel configuration
-> later, you can upgrade any system to your personal kernel
4. make-kpkg modules_image
-> this creates the modules
5. dpkg -i <kernel-package>
6. dpkg -i <modules-package>
Done. Reboot now.
Lilo has been automatically configured, and all modules have been installed.
The best is, that you will be able to use this package (we would need an
rpm-package, of course...) on any other system.
So what do you think ???
Possible ? Sure.
Bye
Michael
BTW: If anybody gets this mail for the second time:
I already sent it on Thursday, but I don't see it neither in my mailbox nor
the mail-archive. Any idea why ???
