Under X windows do the following:
su
cd /usr/src/linux
make xconfig
(apply the changes you want)
make dep
make clean
make bzImage
make modules
(backup your old modules found in /lib/modules/2.x.x)
make modules_install
(insert a blank formatted floppy in floppy drive)
dd if=/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage of=/dev/fd0
(the above prepares a boot floppy to test the new kernel)
reboot from floppy
But first of all read the kernel-HOWTO found in any FTP site providing
linux documentation.
In order "make xconfig" to work you need the tcl libraries installed.
