+Hints for building and integrating a new kernel into the cryptobox:
+
+1) get the source
+download it from http://kernel.org
+
+2) configure
+- copy the current kernel config from the cryptobox/trunk/kernel directory to the kernel source directory as ".config"
+- make menuconfig
+- make-kpkg --rootcmd fakeroot --revision=cryptoboxY.X kernel_image
+  (replace "Y.X" by the current cryptobox release)
+
+3) integrating
+- copy the debian kernel package (see above) to cryptobox/trunk/kernel
+- copy the new kernel config too
+- change the "unpackdebs" setting in etc-default.d/dfs-cbox.conf
+- add the new kernel package and the config file to the repository (svn add)
+
+4) test it
