Sice you installed minimal, I'd think 'make menuconfig' would suffice. If you have the Redhat kernel-source rpm installed, and if you don't want to start from scratch, there's one already started in /usr/src/linux-<version>/configs for whatever architecture you're using. It can help a lot for getting started. Basically, you copy the appropriate one to the top level of the source tree, rename it as .config, 'make oldconfig' then run menuconfig. Such as (this is a Rawhide kernel that you likely won't have): cd /usr/src/linux-2.4.20-0.pp.20 cp configs/kernel-2.4.20-athlon.config ./.config make oldconfig make menuconfig Then you set whatever options you want, get rid of things, etc. Beats having to do it all from scratch (usually). Things are different if you are using the tarball however. -- Me? A skeptic?
