I'm still playing the "try new distros" game, and just installed Fedora
Core 1 on an old Pentium (c. 1996) I've got. I was wondering if
recompiling the kernel would make it run faster and/or if upgrading to
the 2.6 kernel would make it faster?
Recompiling a 2.4 kernel may help some but a 2.6 kernel would absolutely
help. I installed FC1 on my Celeron 400MHz at work and it was dog slow.
A 2.6 kernel makes it far more usable.

What's the easiest way to install/upgrade/compile the 2.6 kernel on a computer without internet access? I've never done it before. I did a completely standard Personal Desktop install of FC1, and haven't updated/changed anything else since (it's been about one day).
