Thread: Can You Configure a Kernel Using Ubuntu's .deb Packages?
i've been searching on haven't been able find answer this. wondering if there's way configure/customize kernel using ubuntu's .deb kernel packages (http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/) instead of basic linux kernel kernel.org. believe ubuntu developers take kernels kernel.org , customize them ubuntu specifically. don't know compiling kernels (or compiling anything, really), please bear me.
looking @ guide: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/compil...kernel-26.html. basically, has extract .tar.bz2 file kernel.org /usr/src folder , configure there. compile compressed image, compile modules, install modules, , install image. create initrd image in /boot , run "sudo update-grub".
article shows different (easier) method: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubunt...ubuntu-kernel/ after configuring kernel, has compile kernel 2 .deb files: "kernel_image" 1 , "kernel_headers" one. install them, of course.
3 .deb kernel packages ubuntu has install "linux-headers...generic...all", "linux-headers...amd64" (or i386), , "linux-image...amd64" (or i386). after installing these packages (which creates 2 folders in /usr/src), configure them /usr/src? , use 1 of 2 above methods make kernel? if possible, configure kconfig file in "linux-headers..." or "linux-headers...generic..."? (i guess it's generic one, don't know)
don't see why wouldn't work, fact there 2 different folders in /usr/src messing me up.
you realize "mainline" ppa straight kernel.org no alterations nor additions? standard. "mainline..." (as explained me kernel team)posted greenraccoon

when dev testing on dev builds, test kernels. on bugs, launchpad team has me test , debian. last tested 3.2-rc5...
if need specialty kernel, modules added or security locked down, etc., compile them in yourself. otherwise... why?
