Re: [SD4L-user] Confusing compilation instructions

[Jonathan C. <jco...@ro...>]

  To answer my own question, I see that the 
linux-source-2.6.32 package installs 
linux-source-2.6.32.tar.bz2 in /usr/src. If you then extract 
the archive, you can then "make oldconfig" in 
/usr/src/linux-source-2.6.32:

# cp /boot/config-2.6.32-25-generic .
# mv config-2.6.32-25-generic .config
# make oldconfig

After doing that, I extracted the Scramdisk archive into a 
folder in my own space and ran:

# make
# make deb

Then I installed the resulting debian package.

"make install" spews errors that I don't understand and 
probably can't solve. I have to remember to just not use it.
