It's not so difficult to build custom kernel in Fedora. I tried several times following the Fedora instructions [1]. You can also see other at HowToForge [2] [1] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/CustomKernel [2] http://www.howtoforge.com/kernel_compilation_fedora Kind regards, Tuan _______________________________________________ POST RULES : http://wiki.hanoilug.org/hanoilug:mailing_list_guidelines _______________________________________________ HanoiLUG mailing lists: http://lists.hanoilug.org/ HanoiLUG wiki: http://wiki.hanoilug.org/ HanoiLUG blog: http://blog.hanoilug.org/
