Hello:<br>
If this is related to your thesis, I recommend you get a deeper
understanding of dpkg and what it does.<br>
Essentially, dpkg is the same as the MSI installer setup in Windows.
When you use make-dpkg (I think I might have that command wrong), it
compiles your<br>
kernel, then it stuffs it in these packages that you use to install.
You will need to install the packages using dpkg -i to install the
new kernel. Think of it like this. You write a program, and you put
say version 1.2 in a package to be installed. Now you release 1.3,
but in order to give 1.3 to your users you're going to have to
reupdate that package with 1.3. Same with the kernel. Just building
the kernel into .deb packages doesn't install it, it just creates a
means that you can use to install the kernel.<br>

<div>Hi all,<br>
<br>
Last time, I emailed to linux-kernel and kernenewbies
mailing-lists about how to speed up kernel compilation. I
received very useful peace of advice about using "ccache". Now I
want to modify and compile a unique custom kernel several times.
<br>
I used <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile">https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile</a>
to compile custom kernel. This tutorial uses "kpkg" command to
build kernel and it produces two .deb files: "linux-image" and
"linux-header" as result. <br>
So for the first time I followed this tutorial.<br>
For next times, according to to experts' advice, I use "make
all" in custom kernel root directory to rebuild kernel. I am not
sure that it would be enough to use <b>changed kernel</b> after
rebooting. As I asked from some experts, It is also required to
install kernel again, but they were not familiar with "kpkg" and
"dpkg",... commands for kernel installation.<br>
Should I use "dbkg" command after every time I rebuild kernel,
for re-installation?<br>
If anybody is familiar with these method of kernel installation,
please help me. It is very urgent, because it is related to my
B.S. thesis :P<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
