If you want the basics, just read the README file in the
directory where you unpacked the kernel source files.

With the latest FC3 kernel, I followed the directions
in the release notes to unpack the kernel src rpm. That
put the source code here:

/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.9/linux-2.6.9

Read the README file in that directory for instructions
on how to build the kernel.
