1. Introduction
 | Pre-requisites: Well, I'll try to make it as simple as possible, to explain difficult stuff, and to guide you step by step. So I don't think any special knowledge is required, however, I'll assume you're familiar with Unix concepts such as 'kernel' and 'root' and 'compiling'. But that's all. If you don't feel like that at all, just tell me, and I'll update this paragraph. |
 | This documentation is strongly tainted by the fact that I only use an i386 (a PC) architecture. The software configuration should be platform-independent, but not the first few paragraphs, about hardware configuration. |
As usual, comments, both positive (good for the mood) and negative are welcome. Really.
 | CAUTION: Your Mileage May Vary. Read thoroughly the documentation that comes with new hardware, including FAQs and HOW-TOs to be found on the vendor's website. They may include specific step-by-step instructions, help you avoid some traps, etc. |
