It is downloaded and stored locally in a
directory called pristine-linux and is also archived to a bzip file. A dom0
directory named linux-2.6.16.38-xen0 is created, Xen patches are then
applied to the pristine kernel in this directory to create the dom0 kernel. This
is the kernel that is configured when we run this target. If you are new to
Linux kernel configuration the following resources will be useful:

Running Xen
[ 26 ]
linux-2.6-xen0-build: This target compiles the kernel and the modules
using the configuration from the previous step. The compiled kernel and
modules are installed into a dist/install directory created within the
current directory.
linux-2.6-xen0-install: This target will take everything from the dist/
install directory and install it on to the local system. The kernel and the
kernel configuration file are copied to the /boot directory along with the
kernel symbols file that is helpful for debugging. In order to do this you must
have administrative privileges. So either use sudo or become the super user
by using su before you execute this target.
install KERNELS="linux-2.6-xen0": This target will compile the Xen libraries
and Python modules and install them on to the system.
