OK, I believe I have the steps necessary.
This is what I have done so far...
from within xorg, and as Root user:
cd /usr/src/linux
make clean <-- unsure if this is needed
make mrproper <-- unsure if this is needed
make xconfig
load /boot/.config
leave all existing options - I want a kernel only for my one computer,
so I removed a lot of legacy hardware support, which was of no
interest to me...
It would be wise to add v4l and v4l2 support if you ever want to use a
webcam, I also added dvb support for USB devices (TV Tuner USB
sticks).
when finished, do a save as... to /usr/src/linux/,config
exit xconfig
make bzImage && make modules && make modules_install
copy bzImage to /boot/vmlinux-newsuffix
edit /etc/yaboot.conf with the new initrd.gz and vmlinux-newsuffix name
run ybin (-s)
This is all from memory, but I am sure many people will correct me :-D
cheers.
