How to recompile ubuntu kernel

[Fred Blaise]

Hello Paco

I think the initrd is just for the ext3 and reiserfs , since those are modules
in ubuntu. So if you build those in to the kernel, you shouldn't need the
initrd. Of course, I could be wrong, this is just my best guess.

Just install the kernel-source with apt-get, and go on with your kernel
compilation. More info at http://www.desktop-linux.net/debkernel.htm.
