using a stock kernel source from kernel.org

using a stock kernel source from kernel.org

[Nick Gawronski]

Hi, I have compiled kernels before and have no problems doing it but one 
thing in fedora that might mess up things.  I have the kernel rpms installed 
for both kernel and kernel-doc and kernelsrc and I want to completely remove 
all traces of the redhat fedora core 3 kernels and use my own kernel sources 
in /usr/src/linux.  If I download the latest kernel and it version is 
2.6.11.8 it will extract as /usr/src/linux-2.6.11.8 not /usr/src/linux like 
the speakup patch requires and in README with kernel 2.6 it says don't use 
/usr/src/linux area but that area does not even exist.  I also want to 
remove the fedora kernel from grub and just have one kernel installed, how 
would I go about this as well as before adding a new kernel as the default 
and the old one as a backup and boot dith the new one?  Which speakup should 
I use 2.0 tarball or latest cvs version?  bye

Linux is a softlink you create pointing to the kernel source aria.  You remove
and re-create it each time you want to build a new kernel from source.If you are
creating rpms, I'd think you can just use standard rpm commands.  Look at your
other grub lines for kernels incase the new installed kernel won't change the
grub menu automatically.
