Ok, so we apply the patch if --dry-run doesn't return errors. What do we do if it DOES return errors? Why do we run make clean && make mrproper on a fresh, clean source tree? Why do we run make-kpkg clean after configuring? When we run fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd --append-to-version=-custom kernel_image kernel_headers kernel_image and kernel_headers specify which components we want, right? Are there other options?
Artical needs to be updated it's 12-30-2015, things like libncurses5-dev is just ncurses-dev, and cp /boot/config-`uname -r` ./.config is automadicly done for you...
I don't have the option "Load an alternate configuration file." It's for arm 4.14.176 Kernel configuration on an Odroid HC2 (odroidxu4). What do I do. I'm just trying to follow the directions someone sent to me to update linux-headers (I don't even know what that is either... I just want to install asterisk). Totally and completely lost.
