No, that's not hard at all. The very nice thing about make-kpkg is that it combines a lot of steps none of which is particularly hard (I did use slackware once), but it's easy to forget one, or do them in a wrong order. For exactly that reason it would be nice to add this copying of the kernel to the automated process. But if it complicates things too much, I won't be nagging you about it. I wouldn't want to be the cause of some freshly introduced bugs in this great package! Eric -- E.L.
