Hello,

would anyone please give me some pointers to solve the following task.

I am using PXE mechanism to provision servers with Fedora. Usually I
take the vmlinuz/initramfs from here:

https://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/24/Server/x86_64/os/images/pxeboot/

and things just work.

However, this time I want my vmlinuz to be the latest upstream kernel, say, v4.7,

The question is - how do I generate ones?

I guess I need to compile the kernel I want, then use dracut to
generate the initramfs. I need to tell dracut to include anaconda there
and a bunch of other sutff. I guess dracut can just take anaconda from
my builder host which runs F24.

May be there is an easier way, or step-by-step instructions somewhere? 

Thanks,
Artem.
