Recompile kernel question

[satimis]

Hi folks,

LFS 6.1
FC3 Host

I'm prepared to recompile kernel on chroot environment to select some modules/options.

@localhost.localdomain : /root@localhost:/sources/wvstreams-4.0.1# find / -name linux -type d

...
...
/tools/include/linux
/usr/include/linux
...

I suppose /usr/include/linux is the kernel source.

@localhost.localdomain : /root@localhost:/sources/wvstreams-4.0.1# ls /usr/include/linux/

8250_pci.h         cyclades.h              icmp.h               keyboard.h          parport_pc.h       smb_mount.h
acct.h             cycx_cfm.h              icmpv6.h             keyctl.h            parser.h           smbno.h

After "cd /usr/include/linux/" I suppose to run following commands

-make menuconfig
-make
-make modules_install

"make mrproper" can be left out. Is it "make menuconfig" bringing up the small window for selecting modules/options???

Please advise if I'm wrong. TIA

B.R.

I'm not sure if it's wrong by LFS standards, but usually one downloads and unpacks the kernel to /usr/src/ and then make a symlink from /usr/src/linux to /usr/src/linux-2.6.12.1 (or whatever the downloaded kernel is). Make the symlink with

ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.6.12.1 /usr/src/linux

and then cd into /usr/src/linux and then make menuconfig etc...

Dylunio is right.
But in RHEL4 I found sourses in /usr/src/kernels
