Re: "Question: How do I compile the Linux kernel?"

You can still use the TUI with "make menuconfig" (colors) or "make xconfig" (no colors). The GUI is "make xconfig."

I had the habit to keep and maintain .config files for all my hardware, where i would mostly include the hardware support and software stacks i need, and exclude everything else. recently, since gentoo has gentoo-kernel-bin i started to not do it, but sometimes think it is a good idea to get back to the old way. i have funny story about how i received a message via linux kernel source, but one other day about it.
Question: How do I compile the Linux kernel? — By which I mean, what compiler flags, options and configs should I look out for, such that my kernel will actually succesfully run? I am talking about QEMU without KVM as the platform.
