Chapter 2. Getting Started with the Kernel

In this chapter, we introduce some of the Basics of the Linux kernel: where to get its source, how to compile it, and how to install the new kernel. We then go over some kernel assumptions, differences between the kernel and user-space programs, and common methods used in the kernel.

The kernel has some intriguing differences over other beasts, but certainly nothing that cannot be tamed. Let's tackle it.
