building kernel 2.6 on ppc/powerbook

[Joe Villari]

It's pretty simple. After downloading the kernel you want from 
kernel.org and uncompress it cd into the directory and run  make 
menuconfig. This will walk you through the compiling options and lead 
you to the next steps.

This works for ANY system.

More detailed information can be found on YDL's site under Yellow Dog 
Solutions, TOPIC: How to compile a custom kernel.
