[PlanetCCRMA] Rebuilding kernel and alsa

[David Gerard Matthews]

Greetings,
I've been thinking about rebuilding my kernel.  I've been unisng the 
Planet CCRMA kernel and it's been working well, but I want things like 
native VIA chipset support and an Athlon-optimized kernel.  I've built 
kernels before, but never from rpm sources.  What's the procedure - do I 
just apt-get the kernel sources and then build as usual?  Also, do I 
need to rebuild alsa if I still use the Planet CCRMA kernel sources?  If 
so, how do I do that?  I'm assuming I can just rpm --rebuild alsa if 
necessary, but I'm not sure.
Thanks,
dgm
