Re: Silo, Lilo, Grub and a new kernel

["Daniel J. Priem" <daniel@flexserv.de>]

After all this comments my question is:

Does nobody use make-kpkg from kernel-package? This tool will handle all
for you. why do something like make install or similar? you have by hand
to remove all the files wenn removing the kernel etc... with a deb all
this is done automatic.
