apt-get and customized kernel



Hi,

I always compile my own customized kernel.  However,  it brings one
thing annoying when using apt-get dist-upgrade.  As you can see as
following it tries to install debian provided kernel instead.  

Can I shut it off?

thanks,

Preparing to replace kernel-image-2.2.17 Custom.1 (using
.../kernel-image-2.2.17_1%3a2.2.17-1_i386.deb) ...
You are attempting to install a kernel image (version 2.2.17)
However, the directory /lib/modules/2.2.17 still exists.
If you have deselected some modules, this could be bad.

This is your last chance to abort the installation of this
kernel image (nothing has been changed yet). 

I suggest you move /lib/modules/2.2.17 out of the way,
perhaps to /lib/modules/2.2.17.old or something,
and then try re-installing this image.

Do you want to stop now? [Y/n]
