CentOS uses RPMs for the kernel and here is how you would build one: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Custom_Kernel However, there is very rarely a need for one to build their own custom kernel. If you really want a different kernel that is newer than the one in CentOS, ELRepo (http://www.elrepo.com) has a kernel-lt (long term kernel from kernel.org) and kernel-ml (main line kernel from kernel.org) ... and there is also a CentOS produced 3.10.x kernel in the Xen4CentOS repository. If you want to learn how to create a new kernel as a learning exercise, the wiki link will help that, otherwise I would use one where a known and trusted entity is maintaining it secure. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
