Howto: Debian Linux Kernel Compilation, Part 2

[swordilion]

when I'm trying to do your guide I have a lot of problem on the way. Probably because I'm using lenny 500-i386. Can you give me a name of the debian I should use for that compilation?

Thanks in advance

I believe you can also use

tar -jxvf to extract bzip2

yep -j ----> passes argument to bzip2 but its bad practice.

if you where usung a BSD that wouldnt work.

so its recommendend to do bzip and than xthe tar

@cusbrar1 Yes, that is what I use. tar -jxvf is the best way.

@johncartwright302 note that in that video I wasn't extracting a tarball, though.. it was just a text file compressed with bzip.. so bzip2 -d was used correctly..
