My modem driver seems broken by kernel 2.6.20 (feisty), so I am trying
to generate a package of the 2.6.17-generic from edgy and it's
kernel-headers, that I can use on feisty when I want to use the modem.
 It seemed easiest to just use the dpkg-buildpackage command.  But, I
didn't realize it would take ~7 Gb.  So, I'll try it your suggestion
instead.

thanks,
