<para>The Linux kernel is at the core of every Linux system. It's what makes
Linux tick. When a computer is turned on and boots a Linux system, the
very first piece of Linux software that gets loaded is the kernel. The
kernel initializes the system's hardware components: serial ports, parallel
ports, sound cards, network cards, IDE controllers, SCSI controllers and a
lot more. In a nutshell the kernel makes the hardware available so that the
software can run.</para>

<para>Building the kernel involves a few steps: configuring it and compiling
it. There are a few ways to configure the kernel. If you don't like the
way this book does it, read the <filename>README</filename> that comes
with the kernel source tree, and find out what the other options are.</para>
<para>Something you could do, is take the <filename>.config</filename>
file from your host distribution's kernel source tree and copy it to
<filename class="directory">$LFS/usr/src/linux-&kernel-version;</filename>.
This way you don't have to configure the entire kernel from scratch and
can use your current values. If you choose to do this, first run the
<userinput>make mrproper</userinput> command below, then copy the
<filename>.config</filename> file over, then run
<userinput>make menuconfig</userinput> followed by the rest of the commands
(<userinput>make oldconfig</userinput> may be better in some situations.
See the <filename>README</filename> file for more details when to use
<userinput>make oldconfig</userinput>).</para>
<para>If you intend to use kernel modules, you will need an
<filename>/etc/modules.conf</filename> file. Information pertaining
to modules and to kernel configuration in general may be found in the
kernel documentation, which is stored stored in
<filename>/usr/src/linux-&kernel-version;/Documentation</filename>. The
modules.conf man page and the kernel HOWTO at
