No need to worry about changing /vmlinuz link After the package says "Hmm, there's no /vmlinuz link. Maybe you don't want it. Let's find out ..." I type 'rm /vmlinuz' :-). I've been trying out some various combinations of options with the kernels so I've been specifying the kernel image directly in grub's config, rather than using a symlink (and hoping it points to the one I think/want it to point to). Just my preferences, though I like the 1-command process that make-kpkg gives so I don't need to keep a reference handy to get the 'make clean' 'make dep' 'make install' and all the other steps right. (BTW, I did build my own kernels directly when I started out with RH5.2. I didn't know how to configure modules then :-). -D
