<title>Host System Requirements</title>
<para>Your host system should have the following software with the minimum
versions indicated. This should not be an issue for most modern Linux
distributions. Also note that many distributions will place software headers
into separate packages, often in the form of <quote>[package-name]-devel</quote>
or <quote>[package-name]-dev</quote>. Be sure to install those as well, if
your distribution provides them.</para>

<para>If the results of the above command do not state that the host kernel
is either 2.6.x, or that it was not compiled using a GCC-3.0 (or
later) compiler, one will need to be installed. There are two methods you
can take to solve this. First, see if your Linux vendor provides a 2.6
kernel package. If so, you may wish to install it. If your vendor
doesn't offer a 2.6 kernel package, or you would prefer not to
install it, then you can compile a 2.6 kernel yourself. Instructions for
compiling the kernel and configuring the boot loader (assuming the host
uses GRUB) are located in <xref linkend="chapter-bootable"/>.</para>
