[RULE] compiling kernels

[Richard Kweskin]

Hello All

Just to add here that I have compiled a kernel or two myself (when using the given config file) but have also gotten stuck trying to cut out too many bits while creating a different config file. My mania for making minimal things led to saying "no" to several options. However, the compilation would stop early during the make zImage stage and I always suspected that a kernel patched by Redhat (or any other distro) would require certain options to be compiled in to succeed.

On the other hand (I said to myself) if I take a plain vanilla kernel might I break some one(s) Redhat programs or components that require some patch or option.

Bottom line: point me in the right direction as to which kernel source to use and which config file to match with it and I can compile the beast.

Richard
