In the kernel source dir run 'make menuconfig'. It will give you a menu system to configure the kernel. Then you need to make your choices, save the configuration, compile the kernel, install the modules, copy the new kernel image in your /boot dir (ideally without replacing your working image), and reboot your system, praying that your system will start again... :-) There are many howto's out there on how precisely to do this. My favorite is the one of gentoo installation guide: compiling the kernel: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=7 installing the new kernel in /boot: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=10 (small differences may apply for other distros) -- Vassilis
