You could, for instance, use the diffs which accompany the source package. All debian (installation) packages have a source package which in turn is built from an upstream tarball + a patch to apply any debian related changes. But for the kernel, you might as well just get the vanilla tarball from kernel.org if you need to apply your own patches: The magic all resides in make-kpkg anyway, and afaik it's only the most recent debian kernels that have had any patches applied at all (bicbw about this). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
