Thank you so much .. i will check it!!

[rajeevalone]

will i be able to directly download newer version from the fedora site?

[rajeevalone]

This what exactly i need to do:

Download the newest kernel version. Once your kernel has been re-configured, your lilo or grub should have a choice of 2 different kernels. You should have the choice of picking either one of them.

The first choice should be the kernel that you currently have on the system.
The second choice should be the following:
· The advanced configuration and power interface needs to be disabled.

· Driver support for the hme interface on Ultra systems needs to be enabled.

· Access to the ext2 file system needs to be disabled.

· Support for secure IP connections using AH protocols between two computers needs to be enabled.

· Support for using hard disks that were partitioned on an msdos system needs to be disabled.

· Support for multipurpose usb networking framework needs to be enabled.

· Setup the ext3 file system as a module.

Those are some mighty specific options you're looking for...
This isn't a homework assignment is it?

The best kernel howto that I've ever found personally is this one:

Digital Hermit - Kernel-Build-HOWTO

It has always helped me tremendously on those occasions that I've needed it.

btw it is not an assignment .. am just trying an exercise..

and the main problem which am having is .. in finding the kernel source code for fedora 14

[rajeevalone]

it is showing the error as : gcc command not found ..

so i think gcc is missing in my system..can you please tell me where can i find gcc for fedora 14 .. TIA

In a Fedora system, you'll need to get a few tools first.

Install the following components:

kernel-devel (kernel source)
kernel-headers
gcc
make
