It's much too big and contains everything, but it will work, and gets you as similar a kernel as possible. Of course, Ubuntu has made installing your own kernel stupidly complicated (you have to build a package and install it using the package manager), but while it's an annoying extra step or two (compared to just doing a "make modules_install install"), it's not rocket surgery. I install kernels on Ubuntu every day of the week and twice on Sundays, and never jump through their silly hoops. The only magic is making the initramfs, if you use one. make install modules_install update-initramfs -c -k 3.6.1 (or whatever) update-grub -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
