Hi all,

I am Debianing and am trying for my first kernel compile.

Have installed Woody.
Have apt-get upgraded to unstable Sid.
(All packages have been apt-getted)
Have installed tk8.2, make, gcc, bin86, libc6-dev, kernel-package, 
libcurses5-dev ...
Have also installed a variety of other packages including 'debhelper'

Am at /usr/src/linux ( symlinked to ln -s /linux2.4.22 linux )

Have gone through 'make menuconfig'

I assume I save to .config

Also saved to 'gidget2.4.22'

Did a 'make-kpkg clean'

Am stuck at the rest...

What is the EXACT syntax for make-kpkg from here??

I tried 'make-kpkg --revision=2:gidget2.4.22 kernel_image'

( I don't know what the revision bit is nor the 2... )

The computer went off doing its thing but what were the results??
I can't see any .deb file ....

I do see a few other directories though 'stamp .... '

Thanks in advance,

Steve
