Hi , I'am using Fedora Core 3 kernel source rpm to build a custom kernel. When I install the kernel sources 2.6.9-1.667 rpm, the location /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES has the files COPYING.modules genkey ..... ..... linux-2.6.9.tar.bz2 linux-2.6.9-vm-tame-oomkiller.patch linux-2.6.9-xattr-remote-tmpfs-mm.patch patch2.6.9-final-bk2.bz2 patch2.6.9-final.bz2 Could somebody please let me know an easy way to compile the kernel from these sources . Do I need to unzip & apply all the patches ( definitely a pain ) or is there a more convinient method to get all the sources ready for a build? The vanilla kernel ( from kernel.org ) is pretty straightforward to compile. Thanks ! __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
