Re: Compiling Kernel

I recently had to recompile a redhat linux kernel for reduce the time_wait timeout. This value is "hardcoded" in linux sourcecode (contrary to many tutorial over internet say, you can't reduce the time_wait timeout modifying a config file), so, the unique available solution for my problem was modify the code and compile a new kernel. I asked for help to this list some days ago, so you can find my post if you search it.

Regards

Hi,

Did anyone ever had the need to compile kernel for specific reasons? I'd
like to know of possible scenarios where a company requires something
specific. I'm guessing this would be beyond web and email hosting.
