While we talked before about kernel compilation and
configuration, we focused on the general idea. This time we want to
dig deeper into the configuration part, giving you useful advice
you will need when tailoring a kernel to perfectly match your
hardware.The main idea behind this is that you will need to know your
hardware extremely well in order to have a kernel built exactly for
it. At the beginning we will cover what you will need in order to
compile your kernel and after that we move into Linux kernel
configuration, compilation and installation.
