If you build .deb packages including all modules I´d like to ask for your make command. The laptop in question has a Core2, but even on a system that would be considered a netbook by today's standards (IBM X31) it never takes me more than a couple of hours. I don't use debian, so am unfamiliar with the particulars of your process, but 'make distclean;cp /boot/config .config;make oldconfig;make -j3 deb-pkg' reports taking 24 minutes with 953 modules on a 2.3GHz Core2 with an ext3 filesystem on a standard 5400-RPM drive before crapping out missing dpkg. Surely 'dpkg --build' doesn't take hours? - Linux-crypto: cryptography in and on the Linux system Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-crypto/
