Kernel Recompilation

[Rudolf Ladyzhenskii]

Hi,

Module IS the best way to test your changes.

Anyway, normally you run from command line

make menuconfig (this will give you options to configure kernel)
make dep
make <target>

<target> is what you want to build. I only built kernels for embedded systems, so I usually run 'make zImage'. Not sure what you have to build for RedHat desktop installation.

Hi Rudolf,

I am modifying the Networking code of the linux. Eventually I plan to make
a module. Right now I am experimenting to see if my changes work as
anticipated. Plz let me know if you have any pointers for the
recompilation
stuff.

Thanks,
Rahul.
