Kind of an embarrasing question here. I'm trying to modify/optimize the stock kernel that shipped with redhat; I've used up2date to get the kernel to 2.4.9-31 (i think that's the latest) but i'd like to make some small changes - and generally learn more about some of the kernel options.
However after digging around and looking at various kernel howtos I'm stuck early on; each one mentions that I should begin with the source in /usr/src/linux (or wherever) but that folder is empty on my machine - I've got nothing in /usr/src. I'm assuming that the kernel headers and stuff are elsewhere but I have no idea where they would be. All I want to do is try loading some different modules (for my cable modem) but I can't even find the directory where I should begin. And even so, is it safe for me to just run 'make xconfig' in that directory or will it leave me with a "blank slate" afterwhich I'll have to choose all the correct options? And one last question: I know I'm supposed to copy over the System.map afterwards but what about the initrd.img and module-info files; where do I copy those from? Sheesh, so many questions at once! I'd really appreciate any help I could get.
