Editing Kernel Manual Build (section)

== Install the Required Packages ==

To download and compile the Linux Kernel source we will need the following packages:

 * build-essential - Essential packages required for compiling.
 * linux-source - The Linux Kernel Source
 * libncurses5-dev - Development files for ncurses5. Optional for using curses based menu driven configuration.

To install these packages run the following command as root:
 {{{sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-source bc kmod cpio flex libncurses5-dev libelf-dev libssl-dev dwarves bison}}}
