I resently compiled 2.6.17


wget http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/source/SRPMS/kernel-2.6.17-1.2328.fc6.src.rpm
rpm -ivh kernel-2.6.17-1.2328.fc6.src.rpm
cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/
rpmbuild -bp --target $(uname -m) kernel-2.6.spec
cd /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.17/linux-2.6.17.i686/
cp configs/kernel-2.6.17-i586.config .config
make menuconfig
make
make modules_install
make install

I was going to do it from source, but was told the best way would be
downloading the srpms
