comment about this for my edification? And if it does serve a usefull
purpose, how can I re-enable it in a make xconfig?

rpm -qi tux

It's a web server designed for winning benchmarks. Sounds like you don't
want it. Uninstall the tux package.

2. Trying to do this as a user rather than root because you all decry my
running everything as root. To that end I have broken my 'makeit' script
in two, doing all the building as myself and leaving the installation to
a separate script that must be run as root. This seems to work, but is
there a way to run as the common user and still have rights to install
the modules in /lib/modules/$kernelver, and to install the pieces and
links in /boot that are required to achieve a working boot?

I think splitting the job is the right way to do this. Or better, making an
RPM with the updated kernel and using that.
