<p>
You can obtain the complete linux-2.4.x development tree including the
XFS filesystem, or you can obtain an XFS patch onto an
existing linux-2.4.x tree.
</p>
<p>
After you have obtained the XFS development tree or
patch files, you will need to
configure the kernel.
For information on configuring and installing
the kernel, see
<a href="kernelconf.html">
Configuring and Installing the XFS Linux Kernel </a>.

<h3>
Downloading the complete Linux tree including XFS
</h3>
A complete linux 2.4.2 tree including the XFS filesystem
is be available for CVS checkout and for CVSup checkout.
For instructions on checking the tree out of CVS, see the 
<a href="cvs_download.html">
CVS download instructions</a>.
For instructions on checking the tree out of CVSup, see the 
<a href="cvsup.html">
CVSup download instructions</a>.

<h3>
Creating an XFS tree via a patchfile
</h3>
<p>
To create an XFS development tree with a patchfile, you
start with a "vanilla" linux-2.4.x tarball
(linux-2.4.x.tar.gz, or linux-2.4.x.tar.bz2) and apply patches to obtain
an XFS-capable kernel.  The most recent development patches
available for download are provided
<a href="ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/download/patches/">
here</a>.
</p>
<p>
For general instructions for downloading patches, see
<a href="source.html">
Installing from the Source</a>.
