It's straitforward - open xterm or konsole (if you're in KDE) and type

Code:

cd /usr/src/linux

(or whatever else is the path to the sources), then type
make xconfig
and take care to read the help about every setting, plus the files indicated in the help. It'll take you hours, but you will know a lot more about Linux afterwards. When you're done and have saved & quit, run

Code:

make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install
make bzlilo

(read your distro's manual before, these commands may vary for you).

Alternatively to 'make xconfig', you can look in the KDE Control Center - I remember seeing there another kernel config GUI, but I never tried it.
