    This won't work well without AX.25 also being in the kernel. BUT it is
    much much better to use KISS as a module (CONFIG_MKISS=m) instead.

    mv .config .config.old
    sed 's/CONFIG_MKISS=y/CONFIG_MKISS=m/' <.config.old >.config
    make modules
    make modules-install
    make bzImage (only needed to rebuild kernel without mkiss in it)
    ...whatever steps you use to install new kernel
    ...and update MBR (i.e. run lilo)

    reboot

    depmod -a

    /sbin/modprobe ax25
    /sbin/modprobe mkiss
    kissattach ...

    I would recommend building a kernel from generic 2.4.19 sources
    (www.us.kernel.org) rather than RedHat's kernel source rpm unless you need to
    use RedHat's patches for some non-standard reason. 2.4.19 has some fixes
    for amateur radio.

    I hope that helps,
