If you haven't done a kernel compile before, you may want to do some googling around 
for the compile how-tos out there. It isn't much of a mystery. The important thing is 
to get a working .config file, either by using the xconfig or menuconfig scripts 
before starting the compile process. I'm running the latest Marcelo 2.4.21-pre3 with 
zero problems (other than the occasional mysterious lockups which date back to 2.4.18).

Highly doubtful. This RH kernel is patched for many things including interoperability 
with the nptl-enhanced glibc used in Phoebe.
