System Installation

This section describes how to install Version 3.2 of the x-kernel. By installing the x-kernel we mean setting up the x-kernel environment so that programmers can begin writing protocols and configuring new kernels.

The x-kernel is commonly used for both research and instruction. A typical scenario is for a researcher (instructor) to install the x-kernel for use by various network projects (students). Individual projects (students) then build and test kernels in private working directories. This section describes the work the researcher (instructor) needs to do to set up the x-kernel directory.
