Building kernel source

[Vladimir Murzin]

Hi,

Distro specific methods already include idea form the kernel README file, i.e. they usually call make & co stuff. The difference in some extra commands to wrap kernel image into package.
Advantage of using distro specific method is capability to manage your custom kernel with package manager.

Best wishes

Hi,
In the kernel README file, it is written following commands to build kernel:
make config
make
sudo make modules_install install

Also, there are some other distro specific methods to build kernel
such as make-kpkg. Does it matter which one of them is being used to
build kernel? Should I stick to commands given in the README file or
using distro specific utilities is OK too?
