Before we can start building the Linux kernel, we must ensure that a working boot media exists for the Linux system. This can be used to boot into the Linux system if the boot loader is not configured properly. You will learn how to create a USB boot media, retrieve a kernel source, configure and build a kernel, and perform installation and booting from a kernel.
