cd /usr/src/linux |
| 19 |
make menuconfig or make xconfig |
| 20 |
choose the module option you wish to enable |
| 21 |
Select whether to build into the kernel or as a module. |
| 22 |
exit and save |
| 23 |
make |
| 24 |
make modules_install |
| 25 |

You should not have to copy bzImage unless you built your new modules into |
| 27 |

| 30 |
modprobe into the system. |

| 32 |
