The first thought was naming it linux  as the name of the kernel itself, but 
then I saw that modules, binary rpm modules asked for kernel-2.4.18. so I may 
change it back to linux.
is this what you were thinking of?
I need to work a little bit with the dependecies (linmodems should depende on 
this kernel), and made a few more rpms.

gcc 2.96. The kernel,modules, and programs were compiled on Mdk8.1. 

CONFIG_M586=y
CONFIG_SMP is not set
CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y, should I set it off?

Nobody should ever install them, keep the original from your distro ;-)

I could use some more help reguarding the building and kernel configuration. 
which list should I use to it? hackers-il?
