Compiling the kernel..
Hi all!
I'm familiar with retrieving and compiling new versions of the
Linux kernel under Slackware. With my switch over to Debian
though I was wondering if there are different things I should
keep in mind when compiling new kernel versions. I noticed
that for Debian 1.1 a kernel release under devel/source??????.deb
is available. This appears to contain the standard kernel
release source tree but has a number of additional things (such
as a nifty Tcl/Tk GUI for kernel configurations).
What is the procedure I should take to compile a kernel under debian
and to take into account loadable modules, etc.?
Also, if I want to get newer kernel releases is there a way to
integrate it in with the additional Debian changes for /usr/src/linux?
Cheers!
Richard..
