Before you run any of the next commands, you should get into root user with su and then get into the directory for your sources.su# cd /usr/src/linux-2.x.y

The Linux kernel can be configured using several methods:# make configIs the original, prompt for each option based configuration system. It is not recommended because it makes configuration very tedious.# make menuconfig <-- *recommended*This provides a curses-based menu which lets you select configuration options from a hierarchical listing, without going through each one. This is recommended if you are not using X Windows.# make xconfigThis provides a Tcl/Tk based X Windows graphical interface for configuration. Options are represented in buttons and dialog boxes. This is one of the easiest configuration options.# make gconfigThis is a GTK (GNOME) configuration setup. It's GUI like the xconfig but prettier. I do not think many people actually use this method though.
