Re: recipe for kernel build...

[Digby Tarvin <digbyt@acm.org>]

Great, that was the clue I needed - thanks!

So how does this look as a recipe for rebuilding my 2.6.8-2-386
kernel from source:
	apt-get install kernel-tree-2.6.8
	apt-get install pcmcia-source
	cd /usr/src
	tar jxf kernel-source-2.6.8.tar.bz2
	tar -xvzf pcmcia-cs.tar.gz
	cd kernel-source-2.6.8
	cp /boot/config-2.6.8-2-386 .config
	make-kpkg clean
	make-kpkg --revision=libretto.1.0 kernel_image.
this is where I am up to at the moment.... still building so
the rest is untested...
	make-kpkg modules_image
	dpkg -i ../kernel-image-2.6.8-386_libretto.1.0_i386.deb
	dpkg -i ../modules-imageXX.deb
	shutdown -r now

Let me know if I have overlooked anything..

If it all works, I can just
	make xconfig
and start optimizing for my particular CPU (mmx) and stripping out
some of the unwanted drivers, and then repeat the process above...

I have discovered that the 'make xconfig' won't work unless
the qt3-dev-tools package is installed, so perhaps that should
be added to the recipe as well..

Thanks,
