The first step is to install the appropriate packages:
bin86
kernel-package
kernel-source-2.4.16
debconf-utils
alsa-source-0.5 (if you need ALSA's extra sound support)
pcmcia-source
|
For the particular release of Debian being used the version numbers
will be different. The kernel-package
provides tools to
generate, from the compiled kernel image, a genuine Debian package
that you simply install as a standard type package. The resulting
package can be installed (and uninstalled) cleanly and correctly with
dpkg and wajig.
Note that you do not need the kernel-headers
package as
all the headers required are in the kernel-source
package.
The headers were split out for other reasons (compiling other packages
without installing all of the kernel sources).
Installing the kernel-source
package simply places the
archived kernel source file (kernel-source-2.4.16.tar.bz2)
into /usr/src. Similarly for any kernel modules you wish to
also install (like alsa). Extract the actual source code
into /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.16:
# cd /usr/src
# tar jxvf kernel-source-2.4.16.tar.bz2
# tar zxvf alsa-driver-0.5.tar.gz
# tar zxvf pcmcia-cs.tar.gz
|
You can also obtain a more recent (or even just any different) version
of the kernel from the net yourself and still use the Debian
kernel-package utilities.
