    1.40 +===== Configure and Compile =====
    1.41 +
    1.42 +The Linux kernel source tree is now ready to configure and compile.
    1.43 +
    1.44 +    * Go to the directory that contains the kernel source tree.
    1.45 +<code>
    1.46 +# cd /usr/src/linux
    1.47 +</code>
    1.48 +
    1.49 +    * Prepare the build from the default configuration.
    1.50 +<code>
    1.51 +# make oldconfig && make prepare
    1.52 +</code>
    1.53 +
    1.54 +     * Modify the kernel configuration to your needs, and compile.
    1.55 +     * The //menuconfig// allows you to customise the kernel, which is built into the //bzImage// file. Any //modules// are built and then //install//ed in to the ///usr/include// directory. You should then copy the kernel itself to the ///boot// directory.
    1.56 +<code>
    1.57 +# make menuconfig
    1.58 +# make
    1.59 +# make modules 
    1.60 +# make modules_install
    1.61 +# cp arch/x86/boot/bzImage /boot
    1.62 +</code>
    1.63 +
    1.64 +    * Configure the boot-loader (optional)
    1.65 +<code>
    1.66 +# leafpad /boot/grub/menu.lst
    1.67 +</code>
    1.68 +
    1.69 +    * Add the new kernel to the list
    1.70 +<file>
    1.71 +# My kernel:
    1.72 +title 	SliTaz GNU/Linux (cooking) (Kernel <VERSION>)
