up2date with compiled versions of latest kernel

[Ted Gervais]

Was wondering something.  I updated by newly installed fedora 1 including 
the provided kernel(s),  and then when I ran up2date I was told everthing 
was up2date and there was nothing more to do.  That is what I wanted to see.

Then, I decided to recompile the latest kernel to add some of the features 
I wanted to use and after that was done, the running of up2date told me 
that I should be running the RPM version of the kernel as that was the 
better way of doing things.

How does one do that and still add the needed features to the kernel that 
are not already there??

Anyone please?

Can you please be more precise which additional features you had to
compile into the kernel? Did you need to patch the kernel source or did
you compile additional modules?

HI Alexander.

Thanks for responding and for asking the questions.

What I needed to add to the kernel configuration was more features for
the Amateur Radio section and also the area that covers the Windows file
system.(NFTP ?? )

I didn't need to patch the kernel, just needed to take one of the
example config files and go through it adding those features I needed.
I then ran the compile process and everything worked out fine. Except I
get this little reminder from the update process that I am not using the
RPM kernel.  But I am...

Ok, for activating amateur radio you certainly need to recompile a
custom kernel (I never used that, so I am not absolutely sure). The NTFS
kernel module would be available as an RPM on http://linux-ntfs.sf.net/.

As you used the Fedora kernel source and the original Fedora .config
file you can ignore that warning and reminder.
