| | 70 | IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT THE KERNEL |
| | 71 | =========================== |
| | 72 | The LFS book recommends using "the latest available 2.6.16.x kernel version". |
| | 73 | At the time of the release of this CD, such version is 2.6.16.28. However, |
| | 74 | because of the way jhalfs works, the source for the 2.6.16.27 kernel |
| | 75 | must be present on the CD in order for jhalfs to be able to build a kernel. |
| | 76 | However, using jhalfs for building the kernel is acceptable only if |
| | 77 | you don't care about security. |
| | 78 | |
| | 79 | In order to get the 2.6.16.28 kernel from this CD, unpack the |
| | 80 | linux-2.6.16.27.tar.bz2 source tarball, and apply the upstream update patch: |
| | 81 | |
| | 82 | bzcat ../patch-2.6.16.27-28.bz2 | patch -Np1 |
| | 83 | |
| | 84 | The patch-2.6.16.27-28.bz2 file is in the /lfs-sources directory. |
| | 85 | |
| | 86 | Further kernel updates may be available from |
| | 87 | http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/incr/ |
