Whenever you install a distribution it comes with a generic kernel compiled with everything but the kitched sink. I was wondering how Redhat determines what the kernel gets compiled with? What makes a generic kernel. Being that I am creating a customized Redhat distribution I am wanting to compile

try the following cd /~nsdir rm -rf * then download mozilla from www.mozilla.org. Netscrape 6 PR1 is based on one of the earlier Mozilla milestones anyway, and you don't get the extra crap that you get with Netscrape - eg AOL instant box-messer. Sorry if I seem a bit anti-AOL, but there you go.

The intel CPUID instruction was designed with the idea of providing a serial no. for cpu's, however it's easily to get hold of even when it's switched off. It's present in P2's later than the 266 Klamath and (IIRC) on all P2 Notebooks. It's also present on all PIII's and looks like there's no sign

But if you depend on certain Redhat patches (eg. RAID) then just using the source can be a bit problematic... This is true, but if you use the rpms and need that the same applies. Either way your on a one way trip to patch city. An efficient kernel contains the bare minimum, with modules for othe

I would strongly suggest that you get the source and compile it yourself. It's not as scary as you think. Linuxdoc (www.linuxdoc.org) has a kernel howto. RPM's are generally pre-compiled with patches and stuff that can make it a bit ugly. Example: Mandrake kernel RPM's are fine if you have a penti
