Ha ? IMHO no. The goal is to build a knoppix system from minimal things,
downloading debian's kernel sources, patching and compiling (long time)
to finaly get the same kernel-image-2.4.26_10.00.Custom_i386.deb as
knopper's one is a - IMHO - waste of time. Advantages of scratch knoppix
base, is minimal system, less bandwith, less wasted time, & less cpu
usage. This way it is not, kernel compiling in _very_ uselfull &
intersting, but should be an option instead of an obligation.

IMHO, once again.

Best regards.
