OT: In an ideal world, all module maintainers would ask for inclusion of their packages into the conglomeration[0] modules, so that we have prebuild modules for the Debian kernel flavours. > I can think of two methods: /me too :) > One would be to install the kernel- and driver sources somewhere, boot from > a Debian Live CD with the kernel that I am going to use, build everything and > then move the modules to config/chroot_localincludes/. install the linux-headers package of your live system kernel of the build-system, build binary packages of those modules with module-assistant, and copy the *.deb files into config/chroot_localpackages/.

That would be really ugly. Assumed that you do not change your to be used kernel on a daily basis, it's even faster and simpler to go with option 1, rather than always to keep a build environment on the live system. -- Address: Daniel Baumann, Burgunderstrasse 3, CH-4562 Biberist Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Internet: http://people.panthera-systems.net/~daniel-baumann/ _______________________________________________ Debian-live-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/debian-live-devel
