Linux is a softlink you create pointing to the kernel source aria. You remove and re-create it each time you want to build a new kernel from source.If you are creating rpms, I'd think you can just use standard rpm commands. Look at your other grub lines for kernels incase the new installed kernel won't change the grub menu automatically. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nick Gawronski" <nick@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Saturday, May 07, 2005 6:25 PM Subject: using a stock kernel source from kernel.org > Hi, I have compiled kernels before and have no problems doing it but one > thing in fedora that might mess up things.
