Thanks for the info John!


Well, for a bunch of reasons really. I'm using the virtualbox installation
for testing purposes mainly.
I wanted to compile my kernel to remember how to do it inthe first place
Secondly debian lenny came with 2.6.24 but there is no kernel-headers
package for that version, so I figured I might as well download the latest
kernel.
and finally, by compiling the kernel I can make it as small as possible
since I will only select what I need.
