linux kernel recompile

[Keith Antoine]

I am now in Caldera e2.4 desktop. I am starting to compile tarballs and 
finalise them with checkinstall to get rpms to insert into the revamped 
edition. However how can one do this with kernel install seeing that they are 
installed in the normal way. Anyone used alien to do this. An rpm normal build 
is something that I have never attempted, too nervous and little knowledge.
I know I have read the rpm howto but got frightened off with terrninology and 
spec files etc.
