Modified kernels and initrd ?

Yes, this worked fine to set up a knoppix from scratch. I had to run it on a debian system first; then I got something that I could 'chroot' into under RedHat.

A few extra items I would like help with ...

  • If I want to plug in a modified kernel (built for '686 and maybe with the 'no timer tick' patch), what do I have to do ? Presumably I need to build the kernel, make an 'initrd', and rebuild the boot directory; can you do me a 'howto' ?
I can work on a modified and or custom kernel
