Yes, I gave it a go precisely for that reason. kernel-package wasn't
installed, but I've just thrown it on and I'll take a look.

Yup, John Hearns, on behalf of all Ubuntu 'weenies'! :)

I appreciate Martin's point, and if I can get away without an initrd img
then great, but occasionally they serve a purpose, and if I can build
one that works for me, I'll go with it.

Using make-kpkg is a fair point, I was hoping I'd learn a bit out of
trying to do it myself. Ahh well.

Sarah.
