I'm looking at building a full kernel from source for use in the g4l project that I am the current maintainer of. Mostly the kernels are on the CD to allow users to boot and do disk imaging of the machines. The kernels can also be placed in grub and grub4dos as well, but are actually separate from the machine they are build on. <div class="im"> </div></blockquote><div> You can write your own kernel src.rpm. You just need to change the source tarball and adapt the kernel config. Alternatively, you can open a shell to work, for instance: </div></div> mock -r fedora-10-i386 shell -- Paulo Roma Cavalcanti LCG - UFRJ
