Dear Wiki user, You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Fedora Project Wiki" for change notification. The following page has been changed by PaulWFrields: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Beats/Kernel ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ You may then proceed as usual. + [[Admonition("note","Building Kernel Binary RPMs","Normally, kernels for Fedora are built using the `rpmbuild` utility and a specfile. Your results may vary if you use the kernel's built-in `make rpm` target.")]] + == Building Only Kernel Modules == An exploded source tree is not required to build a kernel module, such as your own device driver, against the currently in-use kernel. Only the `kernel-devel` package is required to build external modules. If you did not select it during installation, use '''Pirut''' to install it, going to '''Applications > Add/Remove''' software or use {{{yum}}} to install it. Run the following command to install the `kernel-devel` package using {{{yum}}}.
