Please stop using whatever you're using to send mail. Your mail software is 
generating crap HTML.

The instructions for building the kernel can be found in the kernal tarball.

You should also fully understand -- since you're apparently trying this 
without having done this before -- that you should be playing with this on a 
machine that you consider to be fully expendable. A single mistake during 
this process, and you're going to end up with a non-bootable brick. 
Especially true for Fedora, whose userland does have certain dependencies on 
the expected kernel configuration.

Do not play with custom kernels on your machine if it contains data that you 
consider important.
