Bug#459357: installation-guide-i386: 8.6.1. Kernel Image Management -- too few prerquisits
Package: installation-guide-i386
Version: 20070319
Severity: normal
The statement
To compile a kernel the Debian way, you need some packages: fakeroot,
kernel-package, linux-source-2.6 and a few others which are probably
already installed (see /usr/share/doc/kernel-package/README.gz for
the complete list).
appeared to me quite a bit misleading. I had to install quite more
packages. The documentation in
/usr/share/kernel-package/doc/README mentions gcc, libc6-dev, bin86,
ncursesX.X-dev, libqt3-mt-dev, g++, libglade2-dev, binutils, make,
module-init-tools, awk, gzip, shellutils, grep. Most of them have not
been installed already.
