Kenny: Hi. I use the program found in Debian called kernel-package to build my kernels. It compiles the kernel and produces a Debian package. This package isn't official, but I find it useful to create local packages of my kernels so I can easily keep track of what I have installed in aptitude. Eric: Kernel-package packages my 2.4.27 kernel?? Does this allow me to then keep an immage of the kernel for a "fall-back form"? Kenny: Download a tarball of kernel source from kernel.org. Checkout speakup from the speakup CVS using the checkout script on the speakup web site. Configure your kernel for your system. Finally type make-kpkg kernel_image Eric: kernel immage being the 2.6.11.7 kernel source tree that I just downloaded?? file name: patch-2.6.11.7.bz2 Kenny: If it finishes with no errors, you will have .deb package in the parent directory. just type dpkg -i packagename This is rather confusing since I have built a total of 2 kernels and this with the help of a friend. -----Original Message----- From: speakup-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:speakup-bounces at braille.uwo.ca]On Behalf Of Kenny Hitt Sent: Tuesday, April 12, 2005 10:55 AM To: Speakup is a screen review system for Linux.

Reboot and hope you configured the kernel with all important hardware support. Hope this helps.
