what are the basic commands to compiling your own kernel ( the 2.6 version)

• cd /usr/src/linux
• menuconfig
• make dep
• make clean
• make bzimage
• cp ./bzimage /boot
• reboot

Is that all you have to do to make a new kernel?

I downloaded 2.6.2 a week ago but haven't touched it because I didn't know how to do it, and most tutorials were really old.

I missed the Linux meeting

I couldn't get a ride until it was already started, no slackware for me yet

its slighty more work then that since you do have to sort out the config file im always screwing that up.

i know you dont have to do make clean with the 2.6 kernels and im not sure about make dep.

You have to type "make dep" to make the dependencies for your kernel modules that you select with menuconfig.

"make clean" it cleans up the mess you make after compiling..

Let me know if I get point B)

And you said basic

The questions seem to have dried up so.....

If you have these files in your home directory...

file.c
main.c
defines.h
program.tar.gz
index.html

How can you delete the C source files and the header file only, using just one command?
