Can one roll a kernel using the vanilla kernel rpm? I know you would

giving it a go, as the i686 kernel seems to be rolled with intel and I
want to get all the gusto I can as I have an AMD-64 chip. Which, from
what I'm seeming, is not checked off in the Fedora stock build.
No, I'm not touching anything else as I'm plain afraid to do so. Got
plenty of time for it to build 100 modules I'll never need. :) There
used to be a HOW-TO at fedora.redhat.com, but damned if I can find it.

Fedora rolls a lot more functionality into the kernel than the standard
vanilla kernel. If you use a vanilla kernel, some things might not work
as expected. I suggest using the Fedora supplied kernel. Even though its
i686 and not AMD, I am sure you wont notice any perceptible difference
in speed. You might find a difference with performance measurement software.
I dont bother compiling for my specific processor anymore .... thats
just my 2 cents.
