### The kernel
The kernel is composed of a number of modules, found in the *module/* directory. Which modules are included can be customised by changing the include statements in *module/init.lua*; copying it and customizing that is recommended, so you can *git pull* later without having to stash or reset your changes.
The kernel is composed of a number of modules, found in the *module/* directory, as specified by a file in the *kcfg* directory, `base` by default. Which modules are included can be customised by changing the include statements in the kernel configuration file; copying it and customizing that is recommended, so you can *git pull* later without having to stash or reset your changes.
#### Unix-like systems
The kernel can be built using the preproc library and provided scripts:
lua build.lua module/init.lua kernel.lua
lua build.lua kcfg/base.cfg kernel.lua
#### PsychOS
The kernel can be built from inside PsychOS using the preproc library, assuming you have the kernel source available:
preproc("module/init.lua","kernel.lua")
preproc("kcfg/base.cfg","kernel.lua")
