Last night finally got to this. I followed the guide Tom shared. The only difference was that i did everything using mock. All-in-all it was smooth sailing. The only change i made to the current kernel config was compiling USB as module. Compilation took over 2 hours. Today i installed this modified kernel and.. well, i have vlc, mplayer showing some movies; firefox playing some youtube,; yum updating packages and me clicking with the mouse on the screen hoping for it to go kaboom... So far ( 2 hours now ) it's still going all right. Oh, well, i just hope it will be stable. Thank you Tom! Andrew
