Go to
http://www.kernel.org and download the latest stable kernel (full sources). Extract it to /usr/src and make the linux symlink point to the new folder with "rm linux; ln -s linux-
kernel-version"(just for convenience). Next, cd into the linux folder and type "make gconfig" (for Gnome), "make qconfig" (for QT/KDE), or "make menuconfig" (menu-based terminal, my preferred method). Next, you need to select the modules that apply to your computer. Search around and you'll find a guide. Next, save the configuration. Type "make bzImage", "make modules", and then "make install". Then you need to update your bootloader. These are the instructions for Grub. If you use Lilo, I can't help you. Copy /usr/src/linux/arch/
your architecture/boot/bzImage to /boot/vmlinuz-
kernel-version. Change the vmlinuz symlink to point to the new kernel like with the linux symlink. Next, edit /boot/grub/menu.lst. Make a section like this:
Quote:
title=RedHat Linux any other stuff you want to see in the menu
root (your Red Hat partition but subtract 1 from the numbers (/dev/hda5 becomes hd0,4))
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/Red Hat device (hda4)

Reboot and feel up to date!
