I'm learning to compile my kernel by using the info from several guides on the net, but I'm having trouble getting the syntax just right for the kernel itself ..
Here's some of the results of
Code:
apt-cache search kernel-source
Code:
kernel-source-2.2.25 - Linux kernel source for version 2.2.25
kernel-source-2.4.27 - Linux kernel source for version 2.4.27 with Debian patches
kernel-source-2.6.8 - Linux kernel source for version 2.6.8 with Debian patches

I've tried these different inputs with no good results:
Code:
root@libranet:/# apt-get install kernel-package kernel-source-2.4.27 kernel-image
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Package kernel-image is a virtual package provided by:
  kernel-image-2.6.8-3-k7-smp 2.6.8-16sarge6
  kernel-image-2.6.8-3-k7 2.6.8-16sarge6
  kernel-image-2.6.8-3-686-smp 2.6.8-16sarge6
  kernel-image-2.6.8-3-686 2.6.8-16sarge6
  kernel-image-2.6.8-3-386 2.6.8-16sarge6
  kernel-image-2.6.8-12-em64t-p4-smp 2.6.8-16sarge6
  kernel-image-2.6.8-12-em64t-p4 2.6.8-16sarge6
  kernel-image-2.6.8-12-amd64-k8-smp 2.6.8-16sarge6
  kernel-image-2.6.8-12-amd64-k8 2.6.8-16sarge6
  kernel-image-2.6.8-12-amd64-generic 2.6.8-16sarge6
  kernel-image-2.4.27-speakup 2.4.27-1.1sarge4
  kernel-image-2.4.27-3-k7-smp 2.4.27-10sarge5
  kernel-image-2.4.27-3-k7 2.4.27-10sarge5
  kernel-image-2.4.27-3-k6 2.4.27-10sarge5
  kernel-image-2.4.27-3-686-smp 2.4.27-10sarge5
  kernel-image-2.4.27-3-686 2.4.27-10sarge5
  kernel-image-2.4.27-3-586tsc 2.4.27-10sarge5
  kernel-image-2.4.27-3-386 2.4.27-10sarge5
You should explicitly select one to install.
E: Package kernel-image has no installation candidate

By the way, I'm using Debian Etch (stable) repositories.
Can anyone tell me how to figure out the right syntax for the kernel command. If it's listed as a kernel, how come I can't find it? Right now I'm just trying to learn to build my own kernel - After I get that right, then I'll work on a 2.6.x kernel Wink. TIA

If you're compiling your own, you don't want the kernel-image package - that's a built kernel. Also, the kernel-source package has JUST a version number, not an architecture (as that's determined by the compiler flags used). I *think* what you want is
Code:
apt-get install kernel-package kernel-source-2.4.27
