You may find yourself in a situation which you have an old linker that won't let you uninstall a relatively new libc6. The solution to this problem is to reverse the changes in <tt>/etc/apt/sources.list</tt>, get a new linker, get an old libc6, then get an old linker.

+!! Reconfiguring the bootloader automagically after kernel package install/remove
+
+If you use kernel packages, you can configure the machine to run a postinstall/postremove script. This is normally taken care of during system install time (if you install a machine with [GRUB], then update-grub is run after kernel install/remove), but if you change bootloaders, it may not be.
+
+Look in /etc/kernel-img.conf (create it if it doesn't exist), and set the postinst_hook and postrm_hook values accordingly.
+<verbatim>
+postinst_hook=/sbin/update-grub
+postrm_hook=/sbin/update-grub
+</verbatim>
+
+!! Compiling debs for modules
+
+If you run 'make-kpkg modules_image', make-kpkg(1) will go through /usr/src/modules and build modules .debs for all the subdirectories of Debian-build-able modules you have in there.

!! Setting up two [NIC]s to bridge
