Description of the debian kernel-files

See http://ulihansen.kicks-ass.net/aero/linux/kerneldebian.htm
for an installation HOWTO.


-----------------------------------------------------------
config-aero.2

Configuration file for my compiled custom kernel. 
Check this file to see if the kernel matches your needs. 
In effect the kernel should have most needed features - 
however you may download 
"kernel-source-2.4.26-aero.2_aero.2_all.deb" 
to rebuild the kernel the debian way.
-----------------------------------------------------------

kernel-doc-2.4.26-aero.2_aero.2_all.deb

Installs the documentation files of the custom kernel - 
in difference to the original, there are docs about badram
and openwall included.
-----------------------------------------------------------

kernel-headers-2.4.26-aero.2_aero.2_i386.deb

are the header files of my custom kernel, they may be 
required for the installation of some programs.
-----------------------------------------------------------

kernel-image-2.4.26-aero.2_aero.2_i386.deb

is a custom kernel I compiled for the aero. It is already 
patched with badram and the security patch openwall. Most 
features like support for nfs, smb, dos/fat-fs, ppp, isdn, 
wireless etc are already included. However some features 
may be missing, so read the config-file. As I will recompile 
the aero-kernel with next kernel versions, please feel free 
to send me your requests. ;-)

for the 2.4.26-aero.2 kernel I added support for PLIP (as 
module) and for CONFIG_RTC=m (for access to the real time 
clock and prevent messages like "Can't locate module 
char-major-10-135")

-----------------------------------------------------------

kernel-source-2.4.26-aero.2_aero.2_all.deb

The kernel source (and the biggest file in this directory). 
If you install it, you get the source files of my patched 
kernel copied to /usr/src/linux-2.4.26-aero. So with that
you can reconfigure and recompile the kernel without breaking 
anything. Simply reconfigure the kernel the debian way by 
cd /usr/src/linux-2.4.26
make menuconfig
make-kpkg clean
make-kpkg --revision=aero.custom.2 kernel_image
-----------------------------------------------------------

pcmcia-modules-2.4.26-aero.2_3.2.5-2.6.backports.org.1+aero.2_i386.deb

PCMCIA is not compiled into the kernel, because the external 
modules do a much better job. They are included in this package 
and were compiled against my custom kernel-source. I took the
3.2.5-2.6 version from backports.org because pcmcia-source 
of debian stable is only version 3.1.33 and pcmcia-cards are 
changing fast.
-----------------------------------------------------------

pcmcia-cs_3.2.5-2.6.backports.org.1-aero.2_i386.deb

Is the cardmanager software and configuration files for using 
pcmcia with the aero. They fit exactly to the pcmcia-modules. 
I already changed the files 
- "/etc/pcmcia/pcmcia.opts" 
  to have the memory addresses specified, which work with 
  the aero) 
- "/etc/init.d/pcmcia" 
  to delay the start of pcmcia-service by 20s, so sysvinit 
  wouldn't start other net-daemons before the initialisation 
  of pcmcia is finished.
- "/etc/pcmcia/network.opts
  with a comment that Debian networking is not configured 
  here, but in /etc/network/interfaces and that one must 
  uncomment the line "auto eth0" in that "interfaces"-file.
