Install 2.6 kernel under Debian Woody (Stable)
1, premise
1) Tools that install compilation need
Apt-get install gcc debhelper kernel-package
2) Install some tools for compiling kernels
- kernel 2.6 must require Module-IT-Tools to manage modules. So you must install Module-Init-Tools and ModuTils.
These need to be generated from the source code from Debian's unsteable or testing.
- Use some of the features of Kernel, require some programs, such as E2FSPROGS, JFSUTILS, Reiserfsprogs, Xfsprogs, etc.
See Documentation / Changes under Kernel Source. Not discussed here
