Re: Compilling Kernel 2.4.25 on Debian 2.0r3

[David Piniella <dpiniell@newssun.med.miami.edu>]

or also check out http://www.thing.dyndns.org/debian/kerneldeb.htm

my version for 2.4 kernels is

1. apt-get install gcc libncurses* kernel-package 
kernel-headers-[version] kernel-source-[version]
2. cd /usr/src
3. bunzip2 kernel-source-[version].tar.bz2
4. tar xfv kernel-source-[version].tar
5. cd kernel-source-[version]
6. make mrproper
7. make menuconfig (and select everything you need)
8. make dep
9. make-kpkg clean
10. make-kpkg --revision=[hostname].[kernel version] kernel_image
11. dpkg -i [name of kernel].deb
12. lilo
13. shutdown -r now

of course, I never use a modular kernel so I don't do anything with 
modules...YMMV.

-d.
