Whenever you install a distribution it comes with a generic kernel
compiled with everything but the kitched sink. I was wondering how
Redhat determines what the kernel gets compiled with? What makes a
generic kernel. Being that I am creating a customized Redhat
distribution I am wanting to compile my own kernels, create kernel RPMS,
and create custom boot disks. Where can I find information which will
shed some light on these topics?
Thank you,

www.linuxdoc.org has all you need there. Basically it appears RedHat (and
the others) build a kernel with lots of modules. The main kernel loads and
has cd-rom support for most things, then once the cd is mounted it uses
modprobe to load the modules. Of course I could be completely wrong about
this, but this way makes sense to me :)
