Well I also have installed kernel-image-2.6.10-1-686, which of course works with no problem,but I wanted to compile one from kernel.org. What are those advantages if I use the kernel from debian?Why would it be better to work with those?
Unles syou are downloading the absolute latest snapshot, there is the potential that you are downloading a kernel source that has unpatched security vulnerabilities. So you can either watch the kernel changelog every day for patches to security problems, or use the debianized kernel sources which include the requisite patches. -Roberto -- Roberto C.
