I am building a kernel in Debian (both etch and lenny). Building the kernel
goes fine, but I can't find the tools mkinitrd etc.

Have added the line:
deb http://www.backports.org/debian etch (or lenny) module-init-tools
initrd-tools procps to sources.list

However I cannot get hold of these tools. Have also tried with the standard
installation (and have tried search etc.)

Any ideas please.

Would also be happy with a kernel that is built with HIGHMEM.

As an aside. Why does Debian restrict itself to 1GByte?
