I used to experiment with rolling my own and never really experienced any noticeable benefit. Of course, if there is some option you really need, that is disabled in the FC version then yes, but I bet these are rather esoteric cases. Another problem you should bear in mind if you do this, is you cannot then use any of the fedora or third party kernel module packages that are around in the various repos, as of course none of these where compiled against your kernel.... In practice I don't think its really much use or there is any benefit for the average user to do this. Chris
