kernel compilation : newbie doubt

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



hi
i am trying to install the new kernel on my system..
some one told me that one should not install the kernel in /usr/src/linux coz  kernel version that the  C library is compiled against is often linked to this tree... what does this mean ... and what is the difference between installation and compilation of the kernel...
where should i install my kernel if i want to make changes to it and try to hack it...
and if i install it somewhere other than  /usr/src/linux... will there not be 2 kernels installed in my system... this thing is very confusing to me.. will greately appriciate if some one can demystify this thing to me..
thanks in advance
kind regards
rahul
