naaaah, that's the slow way :) if you use LILO try this: [type as one line]
make config; make dep; make clean; make zlilo; make modules; make modules_install
that'll let you configure the kernel, then it'll clean up the source tree,
compile the kernel, copy zImage to /vmlinuz copy /vmlinuz to /vmlinuz.old,
run LILO for you to re-initialise it, compile any modules you've chosen and
finally install them. Then just 'shutdown -r now' and watch it boot up.
Note : after the config part is done you can switch your monitor off, make
a cup of tea/coffee and watch TV for about an hour (or go to bed if you have
a slow pc)
