Nope, I don't think anyone on this list has recompiled the kernel...

Just kidding.  If you have X running, remaking the kernel is *very* easy,
you'll have no trouble.

Make sure the kernel-source and kernel-headers packages are installed.
cd to /usr/src/linux
su to root
run "make xconfig"
fill out all the questions and settings on the Tk stuff that will give you.
run "make dep; make config"
run "make zImage; make modules"
copy arch/i386/boot/zImage to the /boot directory
        (make sure you keep a copy of the old kernel)
run "make modules_install"
run "lilo"

I might have left out some details that I don't even think about anymore, but
I'd recommend that you read the Kernel-HOWTO.gz file in the /usr/doc/HOWTO
directory.
