Hello Brent,
I was in the same situation "do I have to reconfigure the
kernel myself??".
The answer is... you most likely are going to have to, unless
they decide to give you an option during installation for a
special setup (like FireWall, Masq, etc)
By default, many of the options we need for these special
setups are not set in the kernel. Therefore, you'll have to
set them yourself.
If you go to /usr/src and there is nothing there, the reason
is because the kernel rpm was/is not loaded. If you have your
Linux CD, you can mount it, then go to CD-ROM/RedHat/RPMS and
in here you'll see all of the rpm's. You'll find one that's
named something like 'linux-2.2.14^$$&^&.rpm'. When you see it,
to install it you'll do something like:
# rpm -i linux-2.2.14^$$&^&.rpm
After this, you should be able to find a linux dir inside of
/usr/src. Then, inside this dir, type 'make xconfig' and if
you have X correctly setup, you'll be presented w/ the nicest
screen for configuring the kernel (if it doesn't work, use
'make menuconfig', or in the worst case 'make config')
The problem at this point now is... what do you need to set
in here??? Well, for this... read... read... and re-read the
kerel-HOWTO that's out there somewhere. This is where I'm at!!
Besides setting your options for the network service that you
want, you have to also set the variables for the devices you
want your box to support!!!
