You should look into the live-helper configuration and adjust where it gets the kernel source and any (extra?) patches it applies. It should be able to work with kernel sources provided from lenny-backports with the proper configuration, since it already works with both Lenny and Squeeze kernel sources. The bpo kernels are not packaged significantly differently. If live-helper doesn't have any relevant configuration, looking into how it receives, patches, compiles, and packages the kernel should give you some insight into a work-around. (e.g. repackaging the bpo kernel package to have the same package name but a higher version than the Lenny kernel package.) -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. b...@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
