ah, live a little Sam!  take a crack at it yourself and then you'll have 
better questions when the experts are around.  The kernel documentation
is what got me started way back when.  See /usr/src/linux/README and 
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/*  

If that isn't enough there are plenty of HOWTO's and websites detailing
how to roll your own kernel.  Really, it's a pretty simple process.

again, you should give it a try on your own.  You might be able to teach
us something too.  With Linux, your way is [generally] the right way...
