How to use firewire drive with 7.3?

[Jim]

I'm using RH7.3. Must I recompile my kernel to be able to use a firewire 
drive with my pentium 3 triple boot (bootmagic, 98/xp/rh7.3) laptop? Is it 
safe (for my very expensive data) to use a firewire drive?
I've never compiled a kernal; wish there were an easier way for this newbie.
Any advice or pointers very appreciated.
Thanks,
Jim
