I want to compile a custom xenU kernel for a firewall distribution

+patch-o-matic but I not sure the best way to go about this, do I
patch a fedora source or start with a vanilla kernel? I know what I
want but am unsure what is the best way? I have read that this has
been done under cool configurations but they didn't go into much
detail. Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks.
Hi Tom,
I am working on a similar thing. What I have done is taken the FC5
kernel SRPM and ported the changes from the one from Endian developer
SRPMS (based on FC3).
You will need to grab patch-o-matic from SVN and update a few things but
all will build and boot OK.
If you like I can send you the updated SRPM I have built (based on
2122).
Take care,
Gawain
