| PackageDescription | Linux kernel source for version 2.6.17 with Ubuntu patches
This package provides the source code for the Linux kernel version 2.6.17.
.
You may configure the kernel to your setup by typing "make config" and
following instructions, but you could get ncursesX.X-dev and try "make
menuconfig" for a jazzier, and easier to use interface. There are options
to use QT or GNOME based configuration interfaces, but they need
additional packages to be installed. Also, please read the detailed
documentation in the file
/usr/share/doc/linux-source-2.6.17/README.headers.gz.
.
If you wish to use this package to create a custom Linux kernel, then it
is suggested that you investigate the package kernel-package, which has
been designed to ease the task of creating kernel image packages.
.
If you are simply trying to build third-party modules for your kernel,
you do not want this package. Install the appropriate linux-headers
package instead. |
