The way to do this depends on your Linux distribution. You didn't
specify which one you use so it's impossible to answer in detail.

Thank you. I installed debian-31r1a that was downloaded from
debian.org. The kernelversion is 2.4.
1. Untar the kernel tarball or go to the linux kernel tree if you have
already done that
2. make menuconfig. ( Set your hardware drivers/filesystems)
3. make menuconfig/oldconfig/xconfig
4. make dep (only for linux 2.4 , for 2.6 skip this step)
5. make bzImage
6. make modules
7. make modules_install
8. Install this generated bzImage in grub (bootloader)


and do not know how to write the
very first "hello world" kernel program.

See: http://tldp.org/LDP/lkmpg/2.6/html/c119.html

Thanks for directing me to this link, I can not compile the example. Is
it because of the lack of the kernel source tree?
