# wget
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.0-test10.tar.bz2

Then, extract the sources:

# tar jxvf linux-2.6.0-test10.tar.bz2

Next, configure it:

# make menuconfig

And finally, build the RPM:

# make rpm

The last command will drop an RPM file at /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386. You
should be able to install it by using "rpm -i".
