Kernel Build Script

This script will help you stay up with either the latest stable kernel, or the beta. On your first time running this script, it will have you edit the Makefile, using the pico editor. Now you can just save the Makefile as is.

The site is here. I do recomend you read up on this though. This site is also recommended from kernel.orgs links http://www.tux.org/lkml/#s4-7

# (William Stearns) The Buildkernel script walks you through an entire kernel build, including downloading the necessary files, patching the source, building the kernel and modules, installing the lot into lilo, and optionally building pcmcia-cs, cipe, and freeswan code for that kernel. Download and install either the tar or rpm version of the script, and run one of the following commands:

buildkernel NEWESTSTABLE #To build the most recent stable kernel.
buildkernel NEWESTBETA #To build the most recent beta kernel.
buildkernel 2.4.7 #If you know the version you wish to build.

I have done a howto for this, which can be found http://wiki.suselinuxsupport.de/wikka.php?...owToBuildKernel

This howto is in need of editing (for formatting reasons), and is an edited copy of http://buildkernel.stearns.org/buildkernel.doc
