Summary

This chapter explained in a very short and simple manner how you should download the Linux source and process a first build. It also dealt with some common concepts. That said, this chapter is quite brief and may not be enough, but never mind, it is just an introduction. That is why the next chapter gets more into the details of the kernel building process; how to actually compile a driver, either externally or as a part of the kernel; as well as some basics that you should learn before starting the long journey that kernel development represents.
