Hi, I am using debian testing to learn linux kernel programming. How do I compile a vanilla kernel without making the system unusable? I tried copying the .config file that comes with the running kernel but 'make oldconfig' can't compile properly, due to missing symbols etc. Do the kernel hackers use distribution at all? How do you develop the kernel without breaking the dependecies from the user space libraries and applications? -- Thanks, Badai Aqrandista (cheepy) -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
