-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: RIPEMD160 Hi speakup, I'm about to take the plunge now and try to compile a kernel, partly to learn and mainly because i need mouse support which i don't have at the moment. I will go from linux-2.4.25 to linux-2.6.2. I'm using Debian Sarge and am wondering if one should take the really easy way out and go for the distribution package or try building it myself from scratch. What advantages could there be with a distro specific kernel source package? Is there anything in particular one should think about if compiling from a source fetched from kernel.org? I have read the Readme for the 2.6.2 kernel and also the kernel compilation howto, so i think i know what i'm doing even though i don't understand everything. Now, i just want to hear peoples (especially debian users) opinions on this. Thanks in advance! - -- /Krister mailto:crisekstrom at bredband.net Get pgp keys here: mailto:crisekstrom at bredband.net?subject=get_pgp_keys -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2-nr2 (Windows XP) iD8DBQFAnh4CODlJeoMTOQsRAwa0AJ9ZjfmCvnEmUxORtTnBS57fRRNh/QCeLojK Ud3OtUt/bCk93pOBOYuGjLk= =5XSc -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
