Thanks for the link. Excellent howto; but you might want to add the
following line to the
"Reconfigure the kernel" section:
$ cp .config ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES/kernel-2.6.16-$(arch).config
Also, I think the kernel generated will still not be successful in
fooling yum since it is generated as 2.6.16-1.2080_FC5.$(whoami) as
opposed to 2.6.16-1.2080_FC5.
I've editied the spec file to remove the $(whoami) bit - hope it will
now generate a kernel that looks identical to the stock FC5 one.
