| 112 | The installation below does not include building some specialized

| 115 | additional extensions (if you aren't sure, then you probably don't), you
|
---|
| 116 | can look at the <filename>INSTALL</filename> file to see an example of
|
---|
| 117 | how to change the <parameter>KERNEL_DIR=</parameter> parameter to point
|

| 118 | at the <application>Linux</application> source code. Note that if you
|
---|
| 119 | upgrade the kernel version, you may also need to recompile
|
---|
| 120 | <application>Iptables</application> and that the BLFS team has not tested
|
