kernel-image? Surely you mean kernel-package? (make-kpkg) > Most, if not all, of the Debian kernel patches (freeswan, for example) > come in a form that kernel-image can automatically apply. The keyword being 'can'. After you create a script for each patch you want. It ended up being more trouble than it was worth. I couldn't figure out why the author didn't just apply any patches found in the right directory, rather than insist on a script for each patch (except that for non-Debian patches you'd probably need some way to specify the -pN argument to each patch). > Grab the kernel-image package. It covers the details of what it can do. kernel-package :-) -- derek -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
