Warm up Task - Build the Mainline

1. Clone

Clone Linus' tree

git clone --depth=1 git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git

2. Config

Get current running kernel configuration.

zcat /proc/config.gz > $KERNEL_TREE/.config

3. Build

Build and install the kernel as applicable for your distribution.

• build kernel
• build modules
• install kernel
• install modules

Pro Tip: Do not get bogged down configuring the kernel at this stage, for guaranteed build use a running config as the basis. For quicker build use make localmodconfig.

4. Boot

Configure boot loader and boot new kernel.
