Hi, Distro specific methods already include idea form the kernel README file, i.e. they usually call make & co stuff. The difference in some extra commands to wrap kernel image into package. Advantage of using distro specific method is capability to manage your custom kernel with package manager.

Does it matter which one of them is being used to build kernel? Should I stick to commands given in the README file or using distro specific utilities is OK too? _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies Best wishes, Vladimir Murzin _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
