Make rpm

 My quote:	This is actually fun.
Nostalgia:	Reminds me of my times doing sysgen's on an IBM 7090.

Thanks to the support here and RedHat's Fedora distribution I have a master
Fedora based system that serves as the code source for all the other Fedora
boxes, 22 at last count.

Next, each of the 22 other boxes needs a custom kernel, special SCSI
support. Rather than doing a build on each box I plan to make my own kernel
distribution of the latest kernel with the necessary re-configuration.

I have read through several sources about "make rpm". Each has caveats and
none seem directed to Fedora. Can anyone recommend a tested procedure to
make an kernel rpm distribution compatible with the Fedora distribution?

Thanks,

Mike
