No the OP does not. He is using FC2 which already has the stuff he needs. All he needs to do is follow what Alexander Dalloz said. To add to that, I would grab the /boot/config-$KERNEL_RUNNING and copy to where the kernel is being built as .config. The do a 'make oldconfig' before doing a 'make menuconfig'. Then follow the rest of the steps for building a 2.6 kernel.
