Using a linux kernel, an easy way?

[joey1211]

Received the 'Real Digital Forensics' book for Xmas and have skimmed read it and am now working my way through the examples.

One chapter requires the downloading of a modified linux kernel from ftp://ftp.hq.nasa.gov/pub/ig/ccd/enhanced_loopback The instructions make no sense to me.

Problem is I have no idea how to get this up and running. Is it doable from a live-cd, or through virtualbox. I don't particulary want to install it over windows.

Getting a FATAL: No bootable medium found! System Halted. error in VirtualBox.

Created a image from the uncompressed tarball file using ImgBurn. Have put this iso file in the CD/DVD-ROM option under the settings.

With being give a sideways promotion at work and zero energy when I get home it's unfortuanetly on the back-burner at the moment. Hoping to pick it up again soon though.

Did move onto another chapter about netcat though.
