Meeting tonight
by Jeroen van Meeuwen
I have to travel tonight I'm not sure at what time I'm going to be able
to connect to the Internet again. I hope to make it in time, but if I'm
late, please start without me.

Well, Fedora 9 is EOL'ed and won't be getting any security updates and I
would recommend using Fedora 11 instead. However the procedure is fairly
simple.
* Take the very latest kernel srpm in the the Fedora release you choose
and modify it to add your patch, bump up the kernel revision and put in
a folder. run createrepo -d on the folder which will create a custom yum
repository with the custom kernel in it.
* Modify the kickstart file to add this custom repo. something like
repo --name=kernel-foo --baseurl=file:///path/to/repo/
That should work. If you have more questions post to fedora-spins list
