How to compile corel linux

The first thing you have to do is make sure you know exactly what hardware you are dealing with in your system. That's all the hardware, not just the NIC.

Get the source for the kernel you want to run if you don't already have it. From the source directory type "make config" or "make menuconfig" to start configuring the kernel. Make menuconfig does let you select from menu choices and is probably easier for your first time. Go through the entire menu tree making sure that it all matches your hardware and save the config file. Then just compile and install.
