1. Install the kernel-source-2.0.36_2.0.36-3.deb package.

2. Unpack the installed kernel source tar file in the directory of your
choice:
	tar -cvzf /usr/src/kernel-source-2.0.36.tar.gz

3. Install the kernel-patch-2.0.36-m68k_2.0.36-5.deb package.

4. Change into the kernel source directory.

5. Apply the m68k kernel patch to the kernel sources with the command:

	kp36-m68k vme

6. Extract the kernel config from the
kernel-image-2.0.36-mvme162_2.0.36-1.deb package using:

	dpkg-deb --fsys-tarfile <path>/kernel-image-2.0.36-mvme162_2.0.36-1.deb |
tar -xvf - boot/config-2.0.36

7. Copy the extracted boot/config-2.0.36 file to .config in the root of
patched kernel source directory:

	cp boot/config-2.0.36 .config

8. Run make menuconfig to alter the configuration.
