I'm building a server for a specific application that runs on Fedora 14. However the application needs the kernel to be built with CONFIG_PREEMPT=N.
The current default Fedora 14 kernel for the system is:
2.6.35.14-106.fc14.i686.PAE
I have tried
'Building a Custom Kernel' at the Fedora site [B]*BUT*[B] I really screwed something up. I don't mind trying again, but I had some questions first.
The instructions mention
Quote:
If you only want to make a small number of configuration changes, you should simply set the options as desired in the config-local file. This will be sourced and override the remaining config-* files and avoids a lot of unnecessary work. You can skip the steps below if you use config-local

So questions:
1.) How do you use config-local? Is there a web guide available somewhere?
2.) Is there a site to download prebuilt kernels?
3.) Any other tips/suggestions for changing the CONFIG_PREEMPT configuration setting?
Thanks!
