-Why would someone want to compile a new kernel? It is often not
-necessary since the default kernel shipped with &debian; handles most
-configurations. Also, &debian; often offers several alternative kernels.
-So you may want to check first if there is an alternative kernel image
-package that better corresponds to your hardware. However, it can be
-useful to compile a new kernel in order to:

- <sect2><title>Kernel Image Management</title>
-<para>
-
-Don't be afraid to try compiling the kernel. It's fun and profitable.
-
-</para><para>
-
-To compile a kernel the &debian; way, you need some packages:
-<classname>fakeroot</classname>, <classname>kernel-package</classname>,
-<classname>linux-source-2.6</classname>
-and a few others which are probably already installed (see
-<filename>/usr/share/doc/kernel-package/README.gz</filename> for the
-complete list).
-
-</para><para>
-
-This method will make a .deb of your kernel source, and, if you have
-non-standard modules, make a synchronized dependent .deb of those
-too. It's a better way to manage kernel images;
-<filename>/boot</filename> will hold the kernel, the System.map, and a
-log of the active config file for the build.
-
-</para><para>
-
-Note that you don't <emphasis>have</emphasis> to compile your kernel
-the <quote>Debian way</quote>; but we find that using the packaging system
-to manage your kernel is actually safer and easier. In fact, you can get
-your kernel sources right from Linus instead of
-<classname>linux-source-2.6</classname>,
-yet still use the <classname>kernel-package</classname> compilation method.
-
-</para><para>
-
-Note that you'll find complete documentation on using
-<classname>kernel-package</classname> under
-<filename>/usr/share/doc/kernel-package</filename>. This section just
-contains a brief tutorial.
-
-</para><para>
-
-Hereafter, we'll assume you have free rein over your machine and will
-extract your kernel source to somewhere in your home directory<footnote>
-
-<para>
-
-There are other locations where you can extract kernel sources and build
-your custom kernel, but this is easiest as it does not require special
-permissions.
-
-</para>
-
-</footnote>. We'll also assume that your kernel version is
-&kernelversion;. Make sure you are in the directory to where you want to
-unpack the kernel sources, extract them using
-<userinput>tar xjf /usr/src/linux-source-&kernelversion;.tar.bz2</userinput>
-and change to the directory <filename>linux-source-&kernelversion;</filename>
-that will have been created.
-
-</para><para>
-
-Now, you can configure your kernel. Run <userinput>make
-xconfig</userinput> if X11 is installed, configured and being run; run
-<userinput>make menuconfig</userinput> otherwise (you'll need
-<classname>libncurses5-dev</classname> installed). Take the time to read
-the online help and choose carefully. When in doubt, it is typically
-better to include the device driver (the software which manages
-hardware peripherals, such as Ethernet cards, SCSI controllers, and so
-on) you are unsure about. Be careful: other options, not related to a
-specific hardware, should be left at the default value if you do not
-understand them. Do not forget to select <quote>Kernel module loader</quote>
-in <quote>Loadable module support</quote> (it is not selected by default).
-If not included, your &debian; installation will experience problems.
-
-</para><para>
-
-Clean the source tree and reset the <classname>kernel-package</classname>
-parameters. To do that, do <userinput>make-kpkg clean</userinput>.
-
-</para><para>
-
-Now, compile the kernel:
-<userinput>fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd --revision=custom.1.0 kernel_image</userinput>.
-The version number of <quote>1.0</quote> can be changed at will; this is just
-a version number that you will use to track your kernel builds.
-Likewise, you can put any word you like in place of <quote>custom</quote>
-(e.g., a host name). Kernel compilation may take quite a while, depending on
-the power of your machine.
-
-</para><para>
-
-Once the compilation is complete, you can install your custom kernel
-like any package. As root, do
-<userinput>dpkg -i
-../&kernelpackage;-&kernelversion;-<replaceable>subarchitecture</replaceable>_custom.1.0_&architecture;.deb</userinput>.
-The <replaceable>subarchitecture</replaceable> part is an optional
-sub-architecture,
-<phrase arch="i386"> such as <quote>686</quote>, </phrase>
-depending on what kernel options you set.
-<userinput>dpkg -i</userinput> will install the
-kernel, along with some other nice supporting files. For instance,
-the <filename>System.map</filename> will be properly installed
-(helpful for debugging kernel problems), and
-<filename>/boot/config-&kernelversion;</filename> will be installed,
-containing your current configuration set. Your new
-kernel package is also clever enough to automatically update your boot
-loader to use the new kernel. If you have created a modules package,
-you'll need to install that package as well.
-
-</para><para>
-
-It is time to reboot the system: read carefully any warning that the
-above step may have produced, then <userinput>shutdown -r now</userinput>.
-
-</para><para>
-
-For more information on &debian; kernels and kernel compilation, see the

- <title>Setting Up Your System To Use E-Mail</title>
-<para>
-
-Today, email is an important part of many people's life. As there are
-many options as to how to set it up, and as having it set up correctly is
-important for some &debian; utilities, we will try to cover the basics in
-this section.
-
-</para><para>
-
-There are three main functions that make up an e-mail system. First there is
-the <firstterm>Mail User Agent</firstterm> (MUA) which is the program a user
-actually uses to compose and read mails. Then there is the <firstterm>Mail
-Transfer Agent</firstterm> (MTA) that takes care of transferring messages
-from one computer to another. And last there is the <firstterm>Mail
-Delivery Agent</firstterm> (MDA) that takes care of delivering incoming mail
-to the user's inbox.
-
-</para><para>
-
-These three functions can be performed by separate programs, but they can
-also be combined in one or two programs. It is also possible to have
-different programs handle these functions for different types of mail.
-
-</para><para>
-
-On Linux and Unix systems <command>mutt</command> is historically a very
-popular MUA. Like most traditional Linux programs it is text based. It is
-often used in combination with <command>exim</command> or
-<command>sendmail</command> as MTA and <command>procmail</command> as MDA.
-
-</para><para>
-
-With the increasing popularity of graphical desktop systems, the use of

-KDE's <command>kmail</command> or Mozilla's <command>thunderbird</command>
-(in &debian; available as <command>icedove</command><footnote>

-Even if you are planning to use a graphical mail program, it is important

-For this reason the packages <classname>exim4</classname> and
-<classname>mutt</classname> will be installed by default (provided you
-did not unselect the <quote>standard</quote> task during the installation).
-<classname>exim4</classname> is a combination MTA/MDA that is relatively

-e-mail local to the system itself and e-mails addressed to the system
-administrator (root account) will be delivered to the regular user account
-created during the installation<footnote>

-out a change, or perhaps a new kernel you installed won't boot, or perhaps
-cosmic rays hit your disk and flipped a bit in
-<filename>/sbin/init</filename>. Regardless of the cause, you'll need to
-have a system to work from while you fix it, and rescue mode can be useful
-for this.

-To access rescue mode, type <userinput>rescue</userinput> at the
-<prompt>boot:</prompt> prompt, or boot with the
-<userinput>rescue/enable=true</userinput> boot parameter. You'll be shown
-the first few screens of the installer, with a note in the corner of the
-display to indicate that this is rescue mode, not a full installation. Don't
-worry, your system is not about to be overwritten! Rescue mode simply takes
-advantage of the hardware detection facilities available in the installer to
-ensure that your disks, network devices, and so on are available to you
-while repairing your system.

-Instead of the partitioning tool, you should now be presented with a list of
-the partitions on your system, and asked to select one of them. Normally,
-you should select the partition containing the root file system that you
-need to repair. You may select partitions on RAID and LVM devices as well as
-those created directly on disks.

-If possible, the installer will now present you with a shell prompt in the
-file system you selected, which you can use to perform any necessary
-repairs.

-For example, if you need to reinstall the GRUB boot loader into the master
-boot record of the first hard disk, you could enter the command
-<userinput>grub-install '(hd0)'</userinput> to do so.

-If the installer cannot run a usable shell in the root file system you
-selected, perhaps because the file system is corrupt, then it will issue a
-warning and offer to give you a shell in the installer environment instead.
-You may not have as many tools available in this environment, but they will
-often be enough to repair your system anyway. The root file system you
-selected will be mounted on the <filename>/target</filename> directory.

-In either case, after you exit the shell, the system will reboot.

-Finally, note that repairing broken systems can be difficult, and this
-manual does not attempt to go into all the things that might have gone wrong
-or how to fix them. If you have problems, consult an expert.

-To shut down a running &debian-gnu; system, you must not reboot with the
-reset switch on the front or back of your computer, or just turn off
-the computer. &debian-gnu; should be shut down in a controlled manner,
-otherwise files might get lost and/or disk damage might occur. If you run a
-desktop environment, there is usually an option to <quote>log out</quote>
-available from the application menu that allows you to shutdown (or reboot)
-the system.
