I want to list here brefly all steps to compile a custom Ubuntu kernel

• sudo -s
• apt-get install kernel-source kernel-package libncurses5-dev fakeroot
• cd /usr/src
• tar xvjf tar xjvf linux-source-`uname -r`.tar.bz2
• ln -s /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.31 linux
• cd /usr/src/linux
• cp /boot/config-`uname -r` /usr/src/linux/.config
• make menuconfig
• Now you can modify the kernel configuration…
• make-kpkg clean
• fakeroot make-kpkg –initrd –append-to-version=-custom kernel_image kernel_headers

After some time you will have debian packages like: linux-image-xxx.deb linux-headers-xxx.deb in /usr/src

Use dpkg -i *.deb to install it, reboot your machine and select them in grub/lilo.

Today I found an Interactive fiction interpreter running in several platforms… and of course Linux is one of them…
After trying it in my linux box I tried to compile it for my N900. Still there are some issues compiling JAM (a replacement for make) for X86 target…

The interpreter is called Gargoyle and it claims to be able read all kind of IF file types.
