Subject: Compiling the kernel with VMware
Date: Thu, 21 Aug 2008 23:02:38 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <11887b820808212102y65e4b744q2da69dc3a9d03a30@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hello,
Currently, I wanted to begin work on the kernel, and as such, I need a
way to compile it. All I have available to me is my XP Home computer
(and I lack funds to buy another, so please do not just say, "get a
Linux comp"). The specs are as follows:
1.4 Ghz Single-core processor
384 MB RAM
20 GB hard drive (5.5 GB free right now)

Now, is there a way to compile the kernel using VMware Player? If so,
what image would be the best to boot and use? Also, exactly what would
I have to do to set up VMware and the image so that I could compile?

Thanks so much for your help!

Alex Zajac

P.S. I am not currently subscribed, so if I could be CC'ed the
response(s) to this email, that would also be greatly apppreciated!
