Do NOT use the /usr/src/linux area! This area has a (usually

- You can also upgrade between 3.x releases by patching. Patches are

Using the option "make O=output/dir" allow you to specify an alternate
place for the output files (including .config).
Example:
kernel source code: /usr/src/linux-3.N
kernel source code: /usr/src/linux-3.X
build directory: /home/name/build/kernel

To configure and build the kernel use:
cd /usr/src/linux-3.N
cd /usr/src/linux-3.X
make O=/home/name/build/kernel menuconfig
make O=/home/name/build/kernel
sudo make O=/home/name/build/kernel modules_install install
