OK. By the way, there _are_ official-Debian 2.4.20 kernel-image binary packages. They're just not apt-gettable as part of Debian-stable at the moment, since they're so new (and thus not mature enough for Debian-stable). They're in: ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/k/kernel-image-2.4.20-i386/ You can just ftp one of those and install it using "dpkg -i", if you prefer not to compile your own kernel. If you _do_ want to compile a custom kernel, here's the Debian-style way of doing so, so that it carries your own versioning and is tracked by the package system: Install the kernel-package package (which provides the make-kpkg utility). Then: $ cd /directory/where/you/unpacked/a/kernel/tarball $ make config | make menuconfig | make xconfig | make oldconfig $ make-kpkg clean $ make-kpkg --initrd --revision=custom.1.0 kernel_image # (as root, or using fakeroot) dpkg -i # ../kernel-image-X.XXX_1.0_.deb Kirk Strauser has a more-detailed explanation here: http://subwiki.honeypot.net/cgi-bin/view/Main/DebianKernelBuilding -- Cheers, "Teach a man to make fire, and he will be warm Rick Moen for a day.
