Parent article: Kroah-Hartman: Help wanted

perhaps some detail is missing here (and on the referring page), but you don't really need a hire (as much as many of us would like one)

essentially (http://www.howtoforge.com/kernel_compilation_debian_etch):

1. git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git
#then if you're on a debian distribution (or why aren't you??)
2. make clean
3. make mrproper
4. make localmodconfig (at least the first time)
5. make-kpkg clean
6. fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd kernel_image kernel_headers
7. dpkg -i linux-headers.x.y.z*custom.deb
8. dpkg -i linux-image.x.y.z*custom.deb
9. shutdown -r now

applying any patches before step#6. (baddaboom-baddabing)

He also contributes articles to LWN.net, the news computing site. [emphasis mine]

I love Wikipedia humor . . . .

Surely gentoo makes more sense than debian :-) We don't have anything so namby-pamby as pre-compiled kernels ...

Cheers,

Using gentoo is like going to IKEA for an interview :)

That was very funny, I hope at least the manual has some written text though :)
