start with a small introduction on the what the kernel is and why one should
consider customising or upgrading it.
what is a kernel?
"A kernel is core of an operating system like the engine of a car which does
all the hard work " is the analogy is use.
> uname -r
2.2.16-3
> mkbootdisk --device /dev/fd0H1440 2.2.16-3
mkbootdisk `uname -r`
would be sufficient in most of the cases
isnt mkbootdisk a redhat specific utility. debian uses some other stuff.
check that.
its very much a hands on article. i like the quick and fast approach. please
refer the kerneltrap.org article about linux 2.6. differences in the build
procedures should be hightlighted. upgrading using redhat and debian's
methods should also be mentioned.
