I ran "apt-get install fakeroot" and that went fine.  I have no idea what
its purpose is ... I have read about "fakeroot" but am unclear as to its
need
to resolve my current problem ... can you explain, please?

I already have "linux-2.4.12.tar.gz" on which I ran
"tar -wvvxf linux-2.4.12.tar.gz" yesterday.

I notice that GRUB is looking for "linux-2.4.12.gz", at least according to
one example.  That file was not created when I ran the tar -wvvzf.

If I run "apt-get install kernel-package" is it going to go out and find
another copy of linux-2.4.12, download and install it as linux-2.4.12.tar.gz
in /usr/src?  In that case there is no point since I already have a slightly
older copy of the same file there that isn't getting the job done.

It looks as though I need to figure out how to create a "linux-2.4.12.gz"
file from my "linux-2.4.12.tar.gz" (currently in /usr/src), in /boot for
GRUB.
Yes?

Thanks!  Doc
