The answer is in bold (and you can see how I found it).

Thanks guys for the reply. One more question that I just posted by creating a new thread...i just want to ask it here

I am trying to compile and have my own kernel appear on the grub menu apart from the current existing kernels...and this what I did

I am following this how to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile.

it says after

make menuconfig

and

make-kpkg --rootcmd fakeroot --initrd --append-to-version=-some-string-here kernel-image kernel-headers

,

you would find packages generated in ~/. But i did not find any.

Help on this please?

Err, sorry to bother but still did not get as how i could get the source file after this.

Sorry. I assumed that you knew how to get source packages. The line in bold shows that the source package is called upstart. So,

~:$ mkdir upstart-source
~:$ cd upstart-source/
~/upstart-source:$ apt-get source upstart

Of course, you'll need to have the proper deb-src lines in your /etc/apt/sources.list (or enable them from Synaptic).

I think that howto might be off, they usually are put in /usr/src
