Consequently, and to close this bug, I'm replacing the paragraph with: ------------------------------------------------------------------- <para> For the more adventurous there is an easy way to compile your own custom kernel on &debian;. Install the <systemitem role="package">kernel-package</systemitem> tool and read the documentation in <filename>/usr/share/doc/kernel-package</filename>. Alternatively, you can also the kernel sources, provided in the <systemitem role="package">linux-source-2.6</systemitem> package. You can make use of the <literal>dep-dpkg</literal> target available in the sources' makefile for building a binary package. There are some differences in these two approaches, please consult the respective package's documentation. </para> ------------------------------------------------------------------- IMHO the Release Notes document is not the place for any more detailed information, the differences between these two approaches should be documented in the respective packages. Agreed? Regards Javier
