RTFM kernel-package docs. All Debian documentation is in
/usr/doc/<packagename> ... at the very least, there will be a copyright
file there :)
However, since Manoj is a very diligent maintainer, there's a wealth of
information in /usr/doc/kernel-package . For starters, take a peek at
the README.gz ... on the second page you would have found this:
For the Brave and the impatient:
1% cd <kernel source tree>
2% make config # or make menuconfig or make xconfig and configure
3% make-kpkg clean
4% make-kpkg --rootcmd fakeroot --revision=custom.1.0 kernel_image
5% dpkg -i ../kernel-image-X.XXX_1.0_<arch>.deb
6% shutdown -r now # If and only if LILO worked or you have a means of
# booting the new kernel. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!
With this example you'll also need the `fakeroot' package, or you can
run line 4 with sudo (or su to root). You need root privileges to
create a deb package.
kernel-package is the coolest thing ever. It has a ton of options,
works with Debian kernel source, non-Debian kernel source, stable
kernels, unstable kernels ...
