=== Compiling and Installing === Now that your kernel is configured, it is time to compile and install it. Exit the configuration and start the compilation process: <pre> # make && make modules_install </pre> (Note: this will copy the resulting modules to your filesystem directly, bypassing any package manager you may have. It may be a better idea to build a kernel package you can install using your package manager. For rpm-based distributions, <tt>make rpm</tt> might work; dpkg-based distributions provide a package called <tt>kernel-package</tt> which you can use. We won't be covering these methods here.) If you don't happen to have a really fast box, it is a good time to get a new cup of coffee now ;) When the kernel has finished compiling, you have to copy the kernel image to your /boot partition and configure your boot loader. If you don't know how to do this, please consult your distribution manual or ask [http://www.google.com Google] for help.
