Hi Ben Thanks for the very quick anser. I've got my brand new Wheezy development environment in a vserver and I'm ready to begin. When I last compiled Linux (about ten years ago) I used to do: make menuconfig do the config change make bzImage && make modules && make modules_install I never thought I would need to this again since the major distros contain reliable up-to-date kernels - regrettably Debian dropped vserver support. I have read of several way to build 'the Debian way' so that the result is a .deb package with the new kernel. Do you have a suggestion - please point me to a suitable web page. I don't seem to be able to download your util-verser sources with apt-get. Is this what I should be doing? I have the original tar from http://linux-vserver.org/Welcome_to_Linux-VServer.org. Maybe I should just compile this.
