+## Compiling GNU Mach microkernel
+
+Host development system is IBM T41 running Debian Sarge 3.1r0a GNU/Linux. 
+
+<pre>
+gcc version: 3.3.5
+GNU sed version: 4.1.2
+GNU make version: 3.8
+mig version: 1.3-4
+</pre>
+
+Obtained gnumach-1-branch sources from cvs:
+
+<pre>
+  export CVS_RSH="ssh"
+  cvs -z3 -d:ext:anoncvs@ savannah.gnu.org:/cvsroot/hurd co -r gnumach-1-branch gnumach
+</pre>
+
+Obtained mig_1.3-4_i386.deb from http://www.hadrons.org/~guillem/debian/pool/main/mig/. Installed it using dpkg:
+
+<pre>
+  dpkg -i mig_1.3-4_i386.deb
+</pre>
+
+Entered into the gnumach sources and did the following for compilation:
+
+<pre>
+   mkdir build
+   cd build
+   ../configure --host=i386-unknown-gnu0.2 --build=i586-pc-linux-gnu \\
+      --enable-kdb --enable-ide 
+   make
+</pre>   
+
+The kernel file is created in the build directory. Move it to /boot on the testing x86 system Hurd partition. Rename it as gnumach1 and compress it:
+
+<pre>
+  mv kernel gnumach1
+  gzip gnumach1
+</pre>
+
+Add a new entry on the testing machine /boot/grub/menu.lst to boot the new kernel. 
+
+<pre>
+  title GNU Hurd K10 Compiled gnumach
+  kernel (hd0,3)/boot/gnumach1.gz root=device:hd2s4 -s
+  module (hd0,3)/hurd/ext2fs.static--multiboot-command-line=${kernel-command-line} \\
+    --host-priv-port=${host-port} --device-master-port=${device-port} \\
+    --exec-server-task=${exec-task} -T typed ${root} $(task-create)$(task-resume)
+  module (hd0,3)/lib/ld.so.1 /hurd/exec $(exec-task=task-create)
+</pre>
+
+Reboot into the new compiled mygnumach1.gz kernel!
