I was told that the following were the steps for making a kernel :
cd /usr/src/linux
make config
make dep
make clean
make bzImage
make modules
I have 4 doubts :
1. If I have made a kernel module , say prn.o , does this automatically get
entry
into a kernel through this procedure ?
2. Could somebody please tell me what
' make ' really is about ?
3. Could you tell me what each of the above steps is intended for ?
4. I am having a dual - boot Win - Lin machine . Will any form of kernel
compilation
affect either :
a. The dual - boot structire
b. The Linux partition and OS
c. The Windows partition and OS
Thanks,
