Linux Kernel Compilation

Steps in compiling a kernel:

• Installing the sources.
• Configuring the kernel (choosing which features and Drivers to compile).
• Compiling the kernel (i.e. typing a single command, and watching...).
• Installing the compiled kernel.
• Updating the boot loader to recognize the new kernel.
• Booting...
• Making the new kernel become the default.
