As a Debian user I discovered the wonders of Manoj's kernel-package suite to build Debian packages of kernel source/headers/image/docs from a single kernel tree. Certainly much easier to install the resulting kernel-image-*.deb package than fuss about with the various Makefile targets. I suppose it would be unfriendly though to ask that this become the standard means of building and installing hppa-linux kernels? =) I see nothing wrong with Paul's suggestion but hope that kernel-package is educated about the changes for the hppa architecture. I've grown fond of it (or too lazy to go back?) ... Andrew. -- Andrew Shugg http://www.neep.com.au/ "Just remember, Mr Fawlty, there's always someone worse off than yourself." "Is there?
