Kernel Hacking None

Exit, Yes to 'Save Changes'

Put a floppy disk in A:, then type:

# make dep && make clean && make modules && make modules_install && make bzdisk

The compilation takes around 40 minutes on my PC (P100). After compilation, a bzImage is placed in /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot and a copy put onto a floppy disk. The file /vmlinuz is the kernel that will be booted when the PC is started with no floppy boot disk in. So, once the version on the floppy disk is working correctly, save a copy of the old kernel:

# cp /vmlinuz /vmlinuz.2.0.38

Then copy the new one over it:

# cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /vmlinuz

Then run the linux loader program:

# lilo

Now reboot!
