As root, cd to /usr/src. Remove the symlink to the linux dir if it = exists. 2. Copy your tarball to /usr/src/ and undo it with the following command gzip -dc filenames | tar -xvf - 3. Channge to /usr/src/linux. Run make mrproper (optional, clears menu of all current selections) 4. Then run make menuconfig to set the options you want in the kernel 5. Save the file and run make dep clean;make bzImage modules modules_install 6. Then copy the bzImage from /arch/i386/boot to /boot Then mv bzImage to vmlinuz-x.x.xx 7. Then copy System.map to /boot/System.map-x.x.xx 8. Now rm System.map 9. then ln -s System.map-x.x.xx System.map 10. Then vi /etc/lilo.conf (or grub.conf) and add the necessary boot info. Be sure the = default image matches the kernel you intend to boot. 11. Save the file and run lilo. Your new kernel is now ready to boot And no, the version of red hat you are running should make no difference, except perhaps for the version of the kernel you start with. regards, shane
