kernel compile q

[anton]

Hey all,
I am going to try and step into the realm of the big boys (and girls) 
and compile me a kernel. However, I have been googling for a bit and 
there don't appear to be any nice wee howtos for 2.6.0 for newbies. In 
fact, I can't actually find any proper howtos at all, for newbies or 
other. the lovely chappies at the tldp have gone and removed their 
kernel howto... Anyone got any idea where I could get a copy?
Cheers
Anton
ps why did they take it down? Why can't it be reviewed while still 
sitting there? Did/does it have "secrets"? "lies"?...
