How to compile the Linux kernel

Here are my steps for compiling the Linux kernel (2.6) on Slackware 13.1:

download the kernel from http://www.kernel.org (e.g. linux-2.6.35.9.tar.bz2)
login as root
copy the compressed kernel to /usr/src
# cd /usr/src
# tar jxvf linux-2.6.35.9.tar.bz2
# rm linux
# ln -s linux-2.6.35.9 linux
# cd linux
# make mrproper
# cp /boot/config .config
# make oldconfig (keep default answers)
# make -j2
# make modules_install
# cp System.map /boot/System.map-huge-smp-2.6.35.9-smp
# cp .config /boot/config-huge-smp-2.6.35.9-smp
# cp arch/x86/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-huge-smp-2.6.35.9-smp
# vim /etc/lilo.conf –> add the following lines:
image = /boot/vmlinuz-huge-smp-2.6.35.9-smp
root = /dev/sdb3
label = Slack-2.6.35.9
read-only
# lilo -v
# reboot

The above instructions should be useful for every GNU/Linux distribution.
