apt-get install kernel-source<br><br>Now google for a howto on compiling the kernel. Try specifically<br>searching <a href="http://tldp.org/">http://tldp.org/</a> too.<br><br>As far as performance benefits, unless you're running on a machine
<br>with less than 16MB of RAM you won't notice a thing at all. You're<br>talking about shaving off perhaps a few hundred KB since you'd be<br>leaving out all the module (un)loading code. It's not really worth it
<br>in any way (even educational, since things are leaning towards the way<br>they are now) to recompile from scratch.<br><br>Back In The Day (TM) you had to go to <a href="http://kernel.org">http://kernel.org</a> and grab the
<br>latest version or it's patches. For the authentic experience, I<br>suggest doing that. Just make sure you backup your /boot/bzImage or<br>what have you for your current kernel version. Write down the new<br>name, but keep it in /boot to make life easy should you really foul
<br>things up :P<br><br>Print out the documentation for grub and keep it handy. I also suggest<br>making a grub bootdisk if anything because it's *really* handy for all<br>kinds of reasons.<br><br>Best of luck.<br><br>
