[newbie] Instructions Installing Linux Kernel

2003-04-04 Thread Computa User 
Hi.

I want to install the linux Kernel on my computer so I
can experiment with it.  I already have Mandrake 9.1
and I got the source code for the Kernel.  I also got
instructions from someone who told me if I follow
their instructions I'd be able to install it
perfectly.

The thing is, when I log in to the Kernel version of
Mandrake 9.1 I see the same user files as the ones in
the normal installation of Linux.  I'm prety sure that
the Source Code version is not supposed to share any
user documents with the normal version.  

Can anybody point me to another set of instructions
that will tell me how to *correctly* add the Source
Code version of the Kernel on my computer?

Thanks.
Raja

If you've already installed MDK 9.1 on your system, it's only a matter
of running the Mandrake Control Centre and going through the RPMDrake to
get the kernel sources installed properly on your workstation.

Once you have the kernel sources installed (under /usr/src/linux) all
you have to do from that point is to open a console, go into that
directory structure, and type make xconfig - from there you will be
presented with a GUI that will assist you in setting up parameters for a
kernel - and will give you the basic instructions for what to do once
you've created a configuration and saved it.

Basic steps:

* make clean
* make mrproper
* make deps
* make modules
* make modules_install
* make install
* lilo
