Hello:
How could I knw what are the compile options of the FC3 kernel compile
options ? (Default "of the box").
Also is recompiling the kernel same as Redat 7 to 9 ?
If not a pointer to the proper documentation would be nice.
Thanks.

Check the /boot/config-<kernel_version_number> file.

Basically yes, just use 'make' instead of 'make bzImage' and 'make
modules', the make takes care of both. In addition if your satisfied after
testing your new complied kernel, go back to the source directory and run
'make rpm' and install it if you want (rpm -ivh).
