They're nearly all modules, and I'm not trying to fit the kernel on a floppy anymore.

So long as you know what you're doing and you're careful. My biggest argument with people rebuilding the kernel is that they take the gentoo "build it all" mentality and apply it to rpm based systems improperly. So long as you're aware of what you're doing and you keep within the rpm mindset, I have 0 argument with tinkering. > > Now that I've given you the warning, the how-to I'd recommend reading > > is here -> http://crab-lab.zool.ohiou.edu/kevin/kernel-compilation-tutorial-en/ > > Great link. Thanks. No problem. Hope it works out okay for you.
