Concerning the errors: I'll fix them, thanks for noticing and telling.

I was just going to report these myself. Anyway, I am on the final step at the moment (the RPM is being built). But I have a couple of questions regarding this process of building a custom kernel:

  1. Why is it not a good idea to build a custom kernel
    as root (you have to be root to install it)?

  2. Why do these steps not work if you do this as root
     (i.e., no ~/rpmbuild after fedora-buildrpmtree)?

  3. After copying the config file an making one small
     change with "make xconfig", why are there so many
     differences in the config file?

The first two questions are just intellectual curiosity, but the third one really has me wondering what's going on. I followed the steps in the Wiki, and when I diff'ed the original config file to the one create by "make xconfig" after making two changes in the serial port section, I saw a lot of differences.
