That is surprising; make-kpkg has been designed for the truly
lazy ;-)
These are really the steps I take (one is supposed to read the
docs, but since I wrote 'em, I skip that step ;-)
______________________________________________________________________
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% fakeroot make-kpkg --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 the addition of fakeroot ( a really nice program, I recommend
it) Steps 1 to 4 can be carried out as a non root user. Step 5 does
require root privileges.
