+A kernel is the heart of a Linux system. We could use the kernel image
+from our normal system, but we might as well compile a new kernel from
+the most recent kernel sources available.

+Building the kernel involves a few steps: configuring it and compiling
+it. There are a few ways to configure the kernel. If you don't like the
+way this book does it, read the <filename>README</filename> file and find out
+what your other options are. Run the following commands to build the
+kernel:

+Now that all software has been installed, bootscripts have been created, 
+it's time for you to reboot your computer. Shutdown your system with
