Re: compiling a kernel?

[Kapil Khosla <khosla@UDel.Edu>]

If you want it really really short....
apt-cache search kernel-image

You will get a variety of hits
Choose 1

apt-get install kernel-image...

You dont need anything else, It will modify lilo.conf, etc etc, and you just reboot :)

If you wanna really compile a kernel, In debian you can use some neat packages but the standard way to do it
download the source
make xconfig
make dep
make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install
copy bzImage from /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/
edit lilo.conf
run lilo
Just reboot,
