Hi Ben
Thanks for the very quick anser.
I've got my brand new Wheezy development environment in a vserver and
I'm ready to begin.
When I last compiled Linux (about ten years ago) I used to do:
make menuconfig
do the config change
make bzImage && make modules && make modules_install
I never thought I would need to this again since the major distros
contain reliable up-to-date kernels - regrettably Debian dropped vserver
support.
I have read of several way to build 'the Debian way' so that the result
is a .deb package with the new kernel. Do you have a suggestion - please
point me to a suitable web page.
I don't seem to be able to download your util-verser sources with
apt-get. Is this what I should be doing? I have the original tar from
http://linux-vserver.org/Welcome_to_Linux-VServer.org. Maybe I should
just compile this.
Thank you in advance
Allan
