And can I use make-kpkg make-kpkg buildpackage -rev Custom.1 
kernel_image to build the kernel, like in Debian? Or is there some 
correct Ubuntu way? I have the same question about dpkg -i 
kernel-image-2.6.6_Custom.1_i386.deb for installing the compiled 
kernel.
And btw, of all the distros I've tried this week, Ubuntu is definitely 
my favourite.

Thanks,
