Doesn't look as bad as I thought, the other crap must have been put there manually (*looks towards frenchn00b)
anyway leave it for now as long as --append-to-version is not -1-686 it should not interfere. We can sort out extra cruft
once we have it working.
Once you successfully compile and install the kernel and headers packages, you should be able to safely delete the kernel source directory
That's what I thought, but I tried compiling a test kernel with make-kpkg and examined the deb directly (ar x) and /lib/modules/[...]/build links
directly to the linux-2.6.20.1 directory (in my case somewhere in /home). Of course it possible (probable) I have missed something...
/usr/src/linux-2.6.20.1# make-kpkg --rootcmd=fakeif everythiroot --append-to-version=-frenchn00b --revision=1.00 kernel_image kernel_headers
Error: Unknown target everythiroot
use --targets to display help on valid targets.
Follow my post, when you quoted it a weird typo appeared.
If you look closely if everythi belongs in the last line of my post.
I am lost.
Code:
:/usr/src/linux-2.6.20.1# make-kpkg --rootcmd=fakeif everythiroot --append-to-version=-frenchn00b --revision=1.00 kernel_image kernel_headers
Error: Unknown target everythiroot

I am lost.
I tried to understand ... re re re re read ...

I am using mouse middle click to copy-paste.I rechecking the codes you gratefully gave ... (thanks again)
Like I said before, if this kernel doesn't work out, you always have the backup kernel to fall back on. So don't be too worried, the machine
won't spontaneously explode.
If it does work, then you will have compiled your first kernel.

All honour are yours & Debian !
figthing with : datefudge '2007-07-12 00:42' I'd really need this server box, that's so useful & powerful, linux comp. to w32 (nmap, crontab, datefudge, ssh, nfs, sambaserver, sleep, wput, wireshark, tvtime, mythtv, wine, xterm, nvu, gimp, iceape, several X, autologin nuts & bolt, mutt, postfix, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4Fbk52Mk1w , perl, bash, ... & so fast and reliable ) Pitty for the others, the windows users :-)
