Wanted: Recompile Kernel How-to

[rinkjustice]

I've got Fedora 5 working mint (thanks in large part to this awesome website: ttp://home.gagme.com/greg/linux/fc5-tips.php ... the guy deserves a metal). Anyhoo, I want to reconfigure the kernel to squeeze out that last bit of performance. Problem is I've failed recompiling the kernel the last few times (w/ other versions of Fedora/Red hat) and I'm really nervous about screwing it up again. I'm looking for a really well written kernel how-to that's specifically for Fedora Core 5 (if that's possible). Anyone?

if you find out let me know also...

I may not be ideal, but here is one (unofficial), for Fedora Core 4 :
http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mjm-kernel-fc4.html

Or this one from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 Manual :
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/e...om-kernel.html

As of RHEL 4, the instructions for building a custom kernel are no longer present in the manual :

Please note, that building a custom kernel is not supported by the Red Hat Global Services Support team, and therefore is not explored in this manual.
