Correct. After installing the source RPM, you have to run "rpmbuild -bp" (which means "build-prep", essentially) to have rpmbuild extract the data from the tarball, apply the appropriate patches and do the initial prep stages. From then on, you can essentially go to the ~/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-<version> directory and press on with xconfig or menuconfig or whatever you wish to use to configure the kernel to your liking. I might recommend your first forays into kernel building/installing be done on a VM or back up your live system adequately so if you destroy your functioning system, you can recover in case you get it wrong. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ri...@alldigital.com - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 226437340 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - Blessed are the peacekeepers...for they shall be shot at - - from both sides. --A.M.
