debian kernel: what to do with everything
Having compiled my own kernel from a kernel downloaded from ftp.kernel.org
or a mirror thereof for years, last night I finally got brave and
installed a kernel from DEBIAN sources. this was due in large part to the
simple and straightforward howto at
www.desktop-linux.net/debkernel.htm. But now I am a bit confused as to
what to do with all that this compilation has left in /usr/src. For each
kernel there's the kernel source tree, the kernel headers, a .deb for
docs, a .deb for changes, a .deb for "all", and of course a .deb for the
image!!! So what does one remove and what does one keep? Does one keep a
kernel source tree for each kernel and switch the /usr/src/linux link
accordingly, or is it customary to delete the source tree and link with the
kernel headers? and what does one do with all the .deb packages, some or
most of which I would think you would want to keep? Could somebody please
help me sort this out?
Thanks.
