Compiling the kernel

<WRAP center round alert 60%> DISCLAIMER Don't do the things described in this document unless you really know what you are doing. This can spoil your raspberry installation if done wrongly. </WRAP>

Intro

Because I'm preparing the LPIC-2 certification, I'm doing some experiments with Linux I usually don't do. Part of these experiments are compiling the kernel. I've picked a raspberry pi for this, so here I go…

apt-get install libncurses5-dev
