Looks like "Custom Kernel" HowTo survived "the<br> idiot test" by me. One question though: when installing the rpms as the<br> last step (rpm -ivh kernel-*.rpm), I get "error: can't create<br>
transaction lock on /var/lib/rpm/_db.000". That means I should do it as<br> root, doesn't it? Perhaps the HowTo could mention this even if it might<br> be reasonably obvious that only root can install kernels...</blockquote>
<div><br>Done. :-D.<br><br>The relevant line now reads: "Make sure that you install those rpm files (as <strong>root</strong>) using either <em>rpm -ivh kernel-*.rpm</em> or <em>yum localinstall kernel-*</em>."<br>
