Installing a kernel
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 README file and find out
what your other options are. Run the following commands to build the
kernel:
cd /usr/src/linux &&
make mrproper &&
make menuconfig &&
make dep &&
make bzImage &&
make modules &&
make modules_install &&
cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/lfskernel &&
cp System.map /boot
