2. Let's Cheat: Starting At The End
I could waste hours of your time with history and theory,
but let's pretend we're all working from the Teachers'

3. Getting The Source
●
Get pristine source from kernel.org
OR
●
Use a Debian kernel source package:
# apt-cache search kernel-source
# apt-get install kernel-source-2.4.23
# cd /usr/src
# tar -jxf kernel-source-2.4.23.tar.bz2
# ln -s kernel-source-2.4.23 linux
# cd /usr/src/linux
