Welcome to "Configuring and compiling the Linux kernel," the second of four tutorials designed to prepare you for the Linux Professional Institute's 102 exam. In this tutorial, we'll show you how to compile the Linux kernel from sources. Along the way, we'll cover various important kernel configuration options and provide more in-depth information about PCI and USB support in the kernel. By the end of this series of tutorials (eight in all; this is part six), you'll have the knowledge you need to become a Linux Systems Administrator and will be ready to attain an LPIC Level 1 certification from the Linux Professional Institute if you so choose.
