I like to know where can i get the information in detail for compiling kernel, loading modules and installing programs from scratch. i never did it before. I installed virtual box recently and looking to play with it.
Download the kernel sources from http://kernel.org/ Ensure you have the "build-essential" package installed. unpack, CD into the directory and type 'make help' for more information. Tip: copy your running kernel's config to save time reconfiguring: (from within the unpacked source directory) cp /boot/$(uname -r)/config .configBuilding takes a long time, a powerful machine and using multiple threads recommended.
