Re: Compiling a kernel...
G'Day !
Last time I installed the kernel sources (2.2.x), I noticed the documents no
longer tell you to link the header files to the /include directories. Is this
no longer required ?
cheers,

Hi,
Try "$make mrproper" before using "$make menuconfig" if that works use
"$make-kpkg kernel-image" which will compile the kernel and package it
into a .deb package then use dpkg to install it.
Cheers,
Peter Firmstone.
