Compiling Kernel

["Francisco J. Márquez Gómez"]

  I recently had to recompile a redhat linux kernel for reduce the 
time_wait timeout. This value is "hardcoded" in linux sourcecode 
(contrary to many tutorial over internet say, you can't reduce the 
time_wait timeout modifying a config file), so, the unique available 
solution for my problem was modify the code and compile a new kernel. I 
asked for help to this list some days ago, so you can find my post if 
you search it.
