<para>The Linux kernel is at the core of every Linux system. It's what makes
|
|
Linux tick. When a computer is turned on and boots a Linux system, the
|
|
very first piece of Linux software that gets loaded is the kernel. The
|
|
kernel initializes the system's hardware components such as serial
|
|
ports, parallel ports, sound cards, network cards, IDE controllers, SCSI
|
|
controllers and a lot more. In a nutshell the kernel makes the hardware
|
|
available so that the software can run.</para></sect4>

<sect4><title>linux kernel headers</title>
|
|
<para>These are the files we copy to /usr/include/{linux,asm} in chapter
|
|
5. They should match those which glibc was compiled against and so
|
|
should <emphasis>not</emphasis> be replaced when upgrading the kernel.
|
|
They are essential for compiling many programs.</para></sect4>
