not that long ago I compiled my first kernel and saved the .config file. after a clean install of FC3 i then went to /usr/src/ and unpacked the 2.6.10 kernel and copied the .config into the 2.6.10 directory and tried "make bzimage" but got back "make: *** No rule to make target `bzimage'. Stop." as an error message. then i did "make xconfig" and then moved the original .config file (hope this makes some sense) so it overwrote the newer version (to save time). the script of some of this, with "cat .config", is at <http://thufir.lecktronix.net/kernel/>.
googling showed some indications that maybe "make boot" would work, but it wasn't clear to me. I don't see why this isn't working...?
cd /usr/src tar jxvf /path/to/linux-whatever.tar.bz2 cd linux-whatever make mrproper cp -f /path/to/your/.config .config make oldconfig make bzImage make modules make install
