Debian install with custom kernel...
 
I'm preparing to assemble a new pc and I will be doing a net install of Debian. I have pre-compiled kernel 2.6.3 for the "new" pc on my old box and I'm wondering if there is any way that I can install with this kernel rather than doing a "2.4.xxbf2.4" install off the netinst cd? I hate to answer all of the kernel configuration questions if I'm immediately going to install a new kernel.

Is there an option during the install process (I can't believe I've missed one but...) where I can "skip" the kernel configuration and install my own? If not, is there some point where I can exit out of the installation and have enough to install my kernel?

I know I'm probably only talking about saving 15-20 minutes, but time is time.

Thanks in advance!

Just accept the kernel on install, and then replace with the precompiled kernel. (remembering to move system.map, update lilo or grub etc)

Thanks!

I'll try it.
