Getting the kernel source

From Crashcourse Wiki

Jump to: navigation, search

You'll want the ability to configure and build a new kernel from fairly recent source. The easiest solution is to clone a copy of the main "git" repository, then just git pull to update it on a regular basis.

To clone the repository, first install the git tools: 

# yum install git

then do the clone: 

$ git clone -n  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git
