cd /usr/src/linux make config make dep make clean make zImage make modules make modules_install cp arch/i386/boot/zImage /vmlinuz_new
You can use make menuconfig or make xconfig instead of make config... You'll propably want to be able to boot it too... so if you're using lilo then edit /etc/lilo.conf and add stuff like
image=/vmlinuz_new label=Linux_new root=/dev/hda3 read-only
to the end... read the current lilo.conf for correct root device... of course you'll need to "reinstall" lilo with command "lilo" ;)
