Daniel and list; I have made some progress but in the end I'm still missing something. Please see below...

What stops me in the https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile article is the following: I assume that I am more or less following approach A) "Use GIT" to get the kernel source. However the article speaks to getting the kernel source from kernel.ubuntu.com, not from the source you identified git.kernel.org. So once I get the source from git.kernel.orlg as per your instructions, I'm back in the article above, which says to issue the command: fakeroot debian/rules clean The problem is at this point is there is no debian directory to work with, so fakeroot bombs out clh@nice:~/src/sound$ fakeroot debian/rules clean /usr/bin/fakeroot: line 178: debian/rules: No such file or directory So, I guess I have to get the debian directory (and maybe others) from somewhere else. I run into the same problem in the next section "Modify the Source for your Needs", where I am told to: debian/rules updateconfigs and again I can't because there is no debian directory. Similarly, all the instructions in "Build the kernel" require the debian directory. Maybe there's something I'm missing about "how to do this when you don't have the debian directory. That is how I ended up in the other article. Having said all of that, I am not sure which "make-dpkg line" you refer to above. I'm sorry I'm not catching on very well here. -- Monet's Chemist ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
