Hi All, I am trying to setup linux development environment.
You could also try Robert P J Day's excellent guide to this (which uses Ubuntu as an example): http://crashcourse.ca/introduction-linux-kernel-programming/lesson-1-buildin... I use this formula I picked up from his course on my Ubuntu boxes and it's always worked for me: $ make then $ sudo make modules_install $ sudo make install $ sudo update-initramfs -c -k 2.6.35-crash+ $ sudo update-grub Replace 2.6.35-crash+ with the name of your kernel. BTW if you want to sign up for Robert's course I can recommend it as I found it very helpful. Although many of the lessons (like this kernel installing one) are free (thanks Rob). I can second Javier's recommendation of "Linux kernel in a nutshell" which is really a little manual for making and customizing a kernel (not a guide to the kernel itself as the title suggests). It'll help you cut out a lot of the crud you don't need in your config and possibly also help you discover some stuff you didn't know about that you _do_ want. Cheers Julie
