When I build a kernel I normally take the config file for the current fedora kernel, and make the needed changes to it, like turning off 4K stack (for ndiswrapper), EFI GUID (so I can use my ipod) and turning on NTFS support (yes I know there is a rpm for this).

I guess my question is this: Is this a good way of building a kernel? Or would I be better off building my own config file.


Try the HOWTO at:

Oh thats cool Paul. Thanks. I have always done it from getting the source for the kernel at kernel.org and then doing the make mrproper, make xconfig, make bzImage, make modules, and then make modules_install. I will take a shot at this the next time I build a kernel.

Is there any thing wrong with the way I do it now?
