[Trinux-talk] Compiling the kernel and recreating boot disks

[John C. <ja...@fi...>]

Hi!  I was wondering what is required to recompile Trinux's kernel?
I think I need to know:

1) Are you using any special patches to the standard kernel?
2) Where can I find the config file you used?
3) Can I use modules?  I didn't see any in /lib/modules within
initrd.gz.  Where do they go?
4) Do I need to do anything special for the boot loader?  (I'm used to
lilo, and haven't used syslinux before.)
5) Any other pitfalls?

I've got a utility I want that requires write access to NTFS, hense my
initial need to build the kernel.  I often find myself hacking the
kernel, though, so I'd like to understand how Trinux's kernel is built
and installed.

Thanks!

John
