I had used make-kpkg to build a debian package of linux 2.0.13 sources
and installed the resulting .deb . Then I found that I had to 
reconfigure because my sound card will not work in windows every time I 
run Linux and switch back to win 95. I have to run DOS 5.0 to revive the 
sound in win 95. Since the IRQs and addresses were different in win 95
I decided to make the sound irqs in win 95 the same as in linux.

Anyway after make config , make-kpkg refuses to run telling me there is
nothing to make. What do I need to do to have make-kpkg rebuild with the 
new config ?

Best regards

Chuma

Run
	make-kpkg clean
*before* you do a 
	make xconfig

Does anybody know where I can find this as86 thing. My kernel wants it
during the compile.  Also does the zimage automaticly gets installed when
you do a make zimage or does it just makes it without installation.

You want the bin86 package for the assembler. make zimage just makes
an image. To install it using your lilo.conf, try make zlilo.

Or you could just make-kpkg to roll your own kernel package which
can then be installed using dpkg.

Install the bin86 package.
