Compiling and Installing Linux 2.6.38.8 |
---|
Setting up RedStar OS is somewhat easy but is pretty doable even with little Linux knowledge. 5. Compiling and Installing Linux 2.6.38.8
On the Host Computer download the Linux 2.6.38.8 Kernel from Kernel.org. After downloading the Linux kernel you will have to make a ISO the same way we did with the defuser. Name the ISO9660 and UDF name as linux as this will make it easier to locate it when mounted When you mount the ISO to the VM as a CD-ROM you will need to open the Terminal as root and do the following cd /usr/src/kernel tar -xvzf /media/linux/linux-2.6.38.8.tar.gz cd linux-2.6.38.8 When in the Linux kernel folder you will have to run make menuconfig and configure the kernel to your liking. When you are done save the .config file and then run make. After make is run then run make modules_install && make install. After this. Reboot! There will now be two boot entries in the menu. The kernel we just installed will be the one on the top of the list. Boot in to that then that's it! Linux 2.6.38.8 (the vanilla version) is now installed! And from there we can work our way up. |
