Oh thats cool Paul. Thanks. I have always done it from getting the 
source for the kernel at kernel.org and then doing the make mrproper, 
make xconfig, make bzImage, make modules, and then make modules_install. 
I will take a shot at this the next time I build a kernel.

Is there any thing wrong with the way I do it now?
