- Summary
- The kernel-source package contains the source code files for the Linux
kernel. These source files are needed to build custom/third party device
drivers. The source files can also be used to build a custom kernel that is
better tuned to your particular hardware. Make sure you understand the
support implications of building your own custom kernel.
