3. Find out and write down the location (pathname) where the
kernel executable resides in the default directory tree
(starting with “/ “) of your Linux installation. Find out the
version of your running kernel by using the "uname -r"
command. Write the version number in your report.

4. Download the source code of the Linux kernel (from

kernel.org, for example). Download the version that is close
to the version of your running kernel. After opening the tar
package, change into the root directory of the downloaded
kernel source code (it is in the directory where you
downloaded the tar package), and in your report write the
names of the subdirectories you see there.
