Yeah, that's what I thought was needed for sid.  But woody contains
older stuff so I was wondering if there were other requirements too.
It's still building the kernel at the moment, but I suppose I'll find
out soon enough whether anything else is needed.

:-)  I've built a bunch of 2.6 kernels in the -test2/test3 days, and
they worked, more or less - but at the time, 2.6 had real scheduling
problems, so I returned to 2.4.  Hopefully they've improved since
then...
