How to Compile the Linux Kernel

“Compiling the Linux kernel used to be a rite of passage, or
just a necessity, for running Linux. It’s not something most users
need to do any more, but if you really want to compile your own
kernel we’ll show you how.

“Even though it’s not necessary, a lot of users still want to
know how to compile the Linux kernel. Unfortunately, there’s not
just one way to do it. I’ll show one way to build a kernel from
source, but you may want to consult your distribution’s
documentation for the proper way to build from source for your
distribution. Here we’re going to build from source and install
directly without creating an RPM or Debian package for the kernel.
If there’s a lot of demand, we’ll do specific tutorials on creating
kernels for Ubuntu and Fedora. Word of Warning

“When I first started using Linux in 1996, it was almost
mandatory to compile your own kernel. Thankfully, things have
change a lot since then. It’s very rare that you need to compile
your own kernel these days”
