You really don't have to download a different source. All kernels are build from the same source code.
All you have to do is downloading The Kernel Source (from http://www.kernel.org/), and select that processor type when you configure it.
what i am asking is if the via c3 is an option in the selection process.
I don't remember seeing that cpu in the menu but you could try one of the other kernels like the alan cox versions. There also might be some gcc optimizations you can use for when compiling the kernel.
I just checked, and it is in the menu.
good. thanks guys
