That `make deb` builds a .deb which can be installed with `dpkg -i ../linux-image-*.deb` What the policy is about backporting and releasing new kernels in stable. (See also https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=890393 ) The idea, the wish, is that upon future simular questions posted at d-kernel@l.d.o and/or d-boot@l.d.o. can be answered with: Please visit URL=at=kernel=handbook for information what you can do Groeten Geert Stappers -- Leven en laten leven
