Idiot's guide to building a kernel:
Assuming kernel 2.4.19:
- make dep modules modules_install bzImage
- cp System.map /boot/System.map-2.4.19
- cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/bzImage-2.4.19
- Modify grub.conf or lilo.conf and then run grub/lilo
- Reboot
If you want to have a custom name for your kernel, edit the Makefile and change the
EXTRAVERSION setting.
