Congratulations! You now have an IPSec enabled kernel in the directory where your newly compiled kernel normally lives (/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage for me). You are probably going to want to copy it somewhere and either restart or rerun lilo and restart, depending on your preferences.

export PATCH_THE_KERNEL=YES

+ make-kpkg --config=menuconfig --revision=whatever kernel_image
When make-kpkg runs, if PATCH_THE_KERNEL is set YES then it will unpatch (clean) and patch the kernel with the contents of /usr/src/kernel-patches/ that are correct for your architecture. The --config=menuconfig step is designed to let you configure all the flash new options that FreeS/WAN provides.

the new kernel if you

't so it didn't do anything but beware

]: oldgo
is the target for compiling
statically against the kernel source. Alternatives are `menugo' and `xgo' to get
a normal kernel config menu up respectively
. For
the menus, IPSec related options
are under `Networking Options
'. Always save the config when you leave, whether or not you have changed anything!
