[olug] apt-get question

[Jason Ferguson]

Actually, Debian makes doing your own kernel deb easy with the make-kpkg 
script.  I think its in the kerneltools package.

Anyhow, you configure your kernel (make menuconfig or make xconfig), 
then run the make-kpkg.  It will compile the kernel and modules and roll 
them into a custom deb for you.  My only problem is that this way doesnt 
take advantage of my dual processors through the "make -j" procedure, so 
the compilation takes longer than I feel is necessary.

Good luck,

Jason
