I am going to try to make packages of recent kernels.... I�m looking into Debian�s build system (actually chose something awful to start with, php4, which is apparently orphaned an incredibly difficult to build) and the kernel system seems much simpler... but again... # apt-cache search kernel-source-2.4.17 kernel-source-2.4.17 - Linux kernel source for version 2.4.17 kernel-source-2.4.17-hppa - Linux kernel source for version 2.4.17 on HPPA kernel-source-2.4.17-ia64 - Linux kernel source for version 2.4.17 on IA-64 Can I use the kernel-source-2.4.17 source package to begin with? Or do I need a BenH kernel? > But for the debian kernels, just browse kernel-image packages, and use > apt-get to install.

Is there some way smarter than this to install new kernel? 1) Compile and get new vmlinuz and upload somewhere 2) Shutdown and go into MacOS; download previusly uploaded, setup BootX 3) Boot from BootX, repeat Can I somehow mount the MacOS partition and write vmlinuz there? Also, on i386 (sorry guys I come from there) there�s all those initrd and cramfs stuff... how does this fit in? Thanks again! Ricardo
