T tangi Sep 14, 2013 #1 Hi, I would like to put my name in the kernel. Is there a way to add the author of the kernel compilation like on Linux? Thanks.

I'm assuming that the entire file is included, including whitespace and comments.

OP T tangi Sep 15, 2013 Thread Starter #3 Thank you so much. I expected that if I set the hostname, the kernel compile will take that too.
