I'll be following (http://www.osnews.com/story.php?news_id=2949) *The Very Verbose Guide to Updating and Compiling Your Debian Kernel

That one's good....but if you're already running a properly configured kernel, why not just use "make oldconfig"? This allows you to use your current config file as a base for your new system. It'll run you through all the changes in the new kernel (and give you a suggested default).

Actually, my existing kernel config is quite botched; modules I don't want/ need, modules I want ( 0install ! ) and alsa broken. Y'see, I never really grokked modutils et al. A fresh setup is what I'm after, I'll just save this one as a backup. -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.
