Kernels y sus features:
=======================
linux-image-2.6.*
-------------------
Features:
o Trimmed down drivers for hardware I'll never own, tasks I'll never do with the
systems under my control and features I'll never use.
Compilation process:
o Download the kernel-source-xxxx.deb or linux-source-xxxx.deb
# Edit /etc/apt/sources.list to add the repository containing it
# apt-get update && apt-get install {kernel,linux}-source-xxxx
$ cd /usr/local/src
$ tar xjf /usr/src/{kernel,linux}-source-xxxx.tar.bz2
o Configure and compile the kernel
$ cd /usr/local/src
$ ln -sf kernel-source-xxxx linux
$ cd linux
$ cp <somewhere>/myconfigfile .config
$ make oldconfig
$ make menuconfig/xconfig
(customize kernel configuration)
$ make-kpkg clean
$ make-kpkg --stem linux --rootcmd fakeroot --initrd --revision=3:rm.<n>.0 --append-to-version -<n>rm-p4/k6 kernel_image kernel_headers kernel_source
We get three packages under /usr/local/src:
linux-image-xxxx-..._i386.deb
linux-headers-xxxx-..._i386.deb
linux-source-xxxx-..._i386.deb
