Some kernel compilation tips

Doc [SuSE 8.2]	/usr/src/linux/README
cd /home/usuari/linux	go to users's directory
gzip -cd linux-2.4.XX.tar.gz \| tar xvf -	install the full sources
make mrproper	make sure you have no stale .o files and dependencies lying around
make config	configure the basic kernel. Or, you can use make menuconfig - text based color menus, radiolists and dialogs. make xconfig - X windows based configuration tool. make oldconfig - default all questions based on the contents of your existing ./.config file.
make dep	set up all the dependencies correctly
make bzImage	create a compressed kernel image.
make modules	if you configured any of the parts of the kernel as 'modules' Then, make modules_install
copy over old (save)	from .../linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage to the place where your regular bootable kernel is found. Where is this ? See /etc/lilo.conf !
update lilo	edit /etc/lilo.conf
run lilo -v -v -v > /home/user/tmp/lilo.txt	to update the loading map [/boot/map is created !]
reboot
