[TriLUG] Build A Kernel

[John Berninger]

What were the commands you did use to get the "make bzImage", in
sequence?

You might want to try just rebuilding teh FC3 kernel - to do that, pull
down the SRPM, and run "rpmbuild --rebuild <filename>" where filename is
the name of the .src.rpm for the new kernel.  Obviously, this wouldn't
work for a non-RPM (possibly even non-Fedora/RHEL) system...
