Hi,

Can someone suggest what is the fastest way to build a minimal kernel and boot. For example if I am working on TCP and would like to make a small change and reboot, what is the fastest way, I rather not build the whole kernel.

Why would you need to rebuild the whole kernel? What did you change that required everything to be rebuilt? And a working kernel can normally be built, from scratch, in just a few minutes. You do know about 'make localmodconfig' right? thanks, greg k-h
