[Warning]Warning

I have absolutely no idea how to do this. I plan to learn as I write this document.

  • I intend to describe how to build a custom Linux kernel from a Fedora src.rpm as a regular user.

  • I intend to keep the resulting kernel as close as possible to the Fedora kernel.

  • I will be creating a kernel with the mga driver enabled so my examples will reflect that.

  • I do NOT mean this to be a detailed description of rpmbuild, specfiles, kernel configuration, or the proper way to make grilled cheese.
