"I’ll be using git to get the latest kernel version. As I have described in previous articles, this is my favorite way to get the sources and it is in my opinion the fastest way to make changes later on when you want to update your own kernel to the latest version. I am compiling the i386 version, if you want to compile for amd64 you need replace i386 for amd64 throughout this article.

"I suggest adding my Launchpad repository to get the latest version of git, follow the instructions of the article Updated git packages for Ubuntu Jaunty to add my repository."
