    The debian reference manual says there are two ways, the debian standard
    method:

    http://www.uk.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-kernel.en.html#s-kernel-debian

    and the classic method:

    http://www.uk.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-kernel.en.html#s-kernel-classic

    where the first uses a kernel deb package and lots of nice
    debian-make-it-simple utilities, while the second uses the method
    outlined in the documentation distributed with the kernels source.

    Is there any reason not to combine the two methods, ie download the
    latest 2.4 from kernel.org (which I want), but use "make-kpkg clean" and
    "make-kpkg kernel_image" (which I like)?

    Thanks
