Install vanilla kernel

[Jay Cliburn <jacliburn@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Can someone point me to the FM/howto/tutorial that describes how to 
install a vanilla kernel in a Fedora system, preferably without using 
rpm?  I've built the kernel, but I'd like to learn where everything goes 
and how it's created, especially the compressed stuff in /boot, but the 
rest of it as well (such as what pieces go into /lib/modules, 
/usr/src/redhat, etc.).

Thanks,
Jay
