This is the Kernel-2.4.x-Beginners-HOWTO. This is supposed to be an introduction to compiling the Linux kernel version 2.4 for anyone that is new to Linux. I am using the Linux kernel 2.4.1 specifically because that is what I just happen to have. However, everything in this HOWTO should apply to all 2.4 kernels, but probably nothing older than 2.4.0. This HOWTO assumes at least moderate skills in using a PC and Linux, but it does not assume prior knowledge of kernel compilation.

1. Introduction

2. What Is A Kernel?

3. Starting The Configuration

4. Configuring the Kernel

5. Compile Kernel

6. Prepare Kernel for Boot

7. Test Your New Kernel

8. Conclusion
