FC3 Kernel Rebuild Nightmare

[rudi]

This must be one of the worst kernel distributions I have seen.
First of all I had to hunt it down and download it separately
from: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pu...-1.667.src.rpm
I do not understand why it was not included on the CDs. Try
downloading 40Mb with a 128Kbit connection - takes forever.
Anyway, got the source RPMS, installed it.

Now the fun begins. There are 13 patches included. No info
in which order or if at all they should be applied. What
do they do ? Which one do I need ? Ok, I will ignore them
for now, lets just build a custom kernel.

Trying to do "make xconfig" - can't 'qt' libs are missing.
Ok, installed the 'qt' libs, and still can't do a "make xconfig".

Thats with a x86_64 distribution. Damn, did anybody test this
at all ? Sorry, just very frustrated here ...

Anybody has any insights to the patches and why make xconfig
does not find the qt libs even if they are installed (I did
do ldconfig).

Yes, I did use menuconfig ....

Thanks,
