==Building Linux from source code on Debian-based GNU/Linux systems== The Debian family includes GNU/Linux distros like Ubuntu, Mint, and Trisquel. # Get the build requirements: #: <code>su -c 'apt-get install build-essential libncurses5-dev'</code> #: or #: <code>sudo apt-get install build-essential libncurses5-dev</code> # Download the Linux source code from the [http://www.fsfla.org/svnwiki/selibre/linux-libre/ Linux-libre project]. The source tarballs from kernel.org should be avoided if possible, because it includes proprietary binary blobs, which violate your [https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html four essential user freedoms]. #: <code>wget http://www.linux-libre.fsfla.org/pub/linux-libre/releases/LATEST-3.4.N/linux-libre-3.4.38-gnu.tar.bz2</code> # Extract the source archive: #: <code>tar xf linux-libre-3.4.38-gnu.tar.bz2</code> # Enter the directory with the extracted source code (and make edits to the source if you wish): #: <code>cd linux-3.4.38</code> # Create or edit the build config file: #: <code>make menuconfig</code> # Build the kernel and package it into deb files (if you don't intend on debugging, set the INSTALL_MOD_STRIP variable to 1 to remove the debugging symbols): #: <code>INSTALL_MOD_STRIP=1 make deb-pkg</code> #: (On a laptop or desktop, this step can take between 20 minutes to several hours.) # Go up one directory: #: <code>cd ..</code> # Install the deb package files you created: #: <code>su -c 'dpkg -i linux-*.deb'</code> #: or #: <code>sudo dpkg -i linux-*.deb</code> # Reboot to load your new kernel: #: <code>su -c 'shutdown -r now'</code> #: or #: <code>sudo shutdown -r now</code> =Suggestions for Improving this Section= This wiki is built on Mediawiki. I highly recommend installing a USB version of it or something like so you can edit, expand, and this page while offline. Thanks! Include photos and descriptions of community linux machines, live cd's, and other relevant things at nb. Should [[Android]] get talked about here as well? Add section on testing old hardware. Add links to Noisebridge coding efforts and related dev classes
