Kernel



I suggest create a command with option to install / update Linux kernel from Linux itselft.
 
Kernin -i
 
would do :
 
"ask the root password"
cd /usr/src
cp linuxkernel.tar.gz  (ask to the user).
tar -xvzpf linuxkernel.tar.gz
cd /usr/src/linux
make xconfig
make dep
make clean
make bzImage
make install
 
The -m option would do:
 
make modules
make modules_install
 
----------------------
 
Kernin -u
 
would browse for patches from the actual version to the latest and would indicate to the user the time and weight of the patch files to do it
 
Later :
 
cp patch.gz /usr/src
cd /usr/src; gunzip patch.gz
cd /usr/src/linux
make clean
make xconfig
make dep
make bzImage
 
Regards.
