How do I compile a kernel?

(These instructions assume we are installing version 2.6.0 of the kernel, replace all instances with the version you are trying to build. These instructions are also x86-specific; other architecture's build procedures may differ.)

         bzip2 -dc linux-2.6.0.tar.bz2 | tar xvf -

         make

         make modules_install

         cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.0
         cp System.map /boot/System.map-2.6.0

         image = /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.0
         label = 2.6.0
