Actually I found it quite terrifying. It was quite a long way to
go about describing a system that was designed to make kernel
compiling easier in the first place.
I learned about make-kpkg from a few posts about how to (1) wget
http://kernel/linux.tgz (2) untar linux.tgz (3) cd linux/ (4)
"make xconfig" (5) make-kpkg --put-your-useless-options-here (6)
watch TV (7) dpkg -i spanking_new_kernel.deb.(8) reboot and pray.
It would be another matter if he had written a Very Verbose Guide
to Compiling Your Kernel the Non-Debian Way.
