This might be an easy question to answer for some one about how to you make
and new kernel in the Slackware 9.0 I need a step by step instruction to
help me config my new kernel in SLACK

Thanks

Umm Gnubie, go read the kernel howto:
http://www.linux.org/docs/ldp/howto/Kernel-HOWTO/

I promise it's not hard, just follow the instructions... If you screw up put
in the slackware cd boot it up and boot of bare.i and try again.

Compiling a kernel on a Slackware system is a pretty generic process, so
pretty much any kernel compile guide will do. Before you start, it would
be a good idea to copy to /boot/config to
/path/to/kernel/sources/.config as that will start you off with the
stock slackware configuration, which means you're less likely to leave
something vital out of your newly compiled kernel.

And you recommend it? Because 90% of what is returned by a "2 sec
google search" is garbage.

look at how Pat does it.
RTFM scripts found in /kernels/

and if you're really pedantic and plan on working
from a kernel.org tarball:
RTFM everything in /source/k/

s'okay?

Google is your friend.

A guide to compiling kernel with no RTFM:

yes, yes, exactly: STFW.

??? and so just how is that -not- RTFM ?

can one somehow absorb the information therein -without- reading it?

The other links people posted will show you the steps.

make xconfig

will give you the gui config tool. For each entry there is help which
usually offers advice like "If unsure, say 'N'." That makes the
decision making process pretty easy.

Have your manuals for your computer standing by, too. Also, you can
often find out more about your hardware by looking in /proc, e.g. cat
/proc/bus/pci/devices to find what kind of USB you have, for instance.

The only other advice I recommend is to keep the old kernel around. Add
a new entry to lilo.conf for "SafeMode" or something that points to the
old kernel. Or copy the new kernel's bzImage to a boot floppy and test
boot off that.

i remember how much i hated people who said "RTFM" when i started out.

I did not make that up.

First result searching google for "kernel compile no rtfm".

Try it.

I agree.
