Re: kernel 2.4.0, make-kpkg

[Antonio Rodriguez <arodriguez@worldnet.att.net>]

So, the steps then would be the same? I mean,
1. make menuconfig
2. make-kpkg clean
3. make-kpkg kernel_image?

Or is it necesary to do make-kpkg kernel_source,
with subsequent dpkg -i kernel_source.deb? looping then back to
number 1. above?
