New kernel-building web page with Nvidia example
Several months ago I asked those on this list to give me their opinion
of a web page that I wrote on building a custom kernel for Debian:
http://www.wowway.com/~zlinuxman/Kernel.htm
Responses were generally favorable, but among the calls for improvement
were the following:
(1) instructions for building the kernel as a non-root user
(2) instructions for building the kernel somewhere other than /usr/src
(3) requests for a specific example which includes
out-of-kernel-source-tree modules, with the Nvidia® proprietary
graphics drivers being the most-requested example.
On that last point I promised a number of people that I would create
an Nvidia example, but I've been sidetracked by other issues until recently.
At long last, however, I have revised my web page in an attempt to address
all of these issues. I have also added a table of contents to make it
easier to go to quickly to a specific section. Section 10 is especially
popular, since it is relevant to stock kernel users as well. I welcome
further review and feedback, especially from those who wanted an Nvidia
example. Is this the kind of thing you were looking for? Or did I miss
the mark?
