Linux Kernel and Userspace Question
Hi,
I am a newbie in Linux kernel compilation. I have successfully compiled the Linux Kernel 3.11 from an existing system running Suse 12.3 - Linux 3.7. My question is as follows.
1) With the compiled kernel, most the instruction on the internet just points to installing on the exiting system. I have not done that as I do not want to mess up the current installation. What is the best way to get it to a new install? How do I create a DVD or USB live CD?
2) The kernel that I have built is packaged in a RPM. I took a peek at the RPM it seems that it only contains kernel and drivers files. My question here is, Do I need to compile the user space programs (eg ls, find, grep, etc) that is located in the /usr/bin directory.
Thanks.
