Klaus, the package, as any kernel module, must be recompilled for any
new kernel. If you unpack the tarball on the mashine you build the
kernel for Knoppix (you do build a custom kernel, don't you?), just run
`make deb` in the directory and it will use the sources of currently
installed kernel to build the .deb of a module.
If you don't have the kernel installed, but you have the sources (after
you compiled the kernel, you'll have to modify the Makefile and change
MODULESDIR to ${ROOT}/lib/modules/2.4.19-knoppix , where 2.4.19-knoppix
isthe full version number of the kernel you compile for (subdir of
/lib/modules where the kernel will put it's modules)
and KERNEL_SOURCES to the directory of your kernel sources.
after that `make deb` will make you a perfectly valid Debian package.
I have tried that and that is just what I've been looking for for a
while! Thanks Oli!
