The kernel-package package. It enables you to build .deb files contained your custom kernel, which you can then install with dpkg. This is good for a number of reasons, but it will update LILO for you, update the symlinks, update /lib/modules etc etc. After you install it, have a look at the README files in /usr/share/doc/kernel-package/ which explain the procedure. Essentially the "make dep" and "make bzImage" steps of building a 2.4 kernel are replaced with 'make-kpkg --revision=[revision] kernel_image" but as always look at the docs. Doing this also means it is easier to use the nvidia-kernel-src and nvidia-glx-src packages to install drivers for NVidia graphics cards, for people who are using them with Debian. -Mary -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
