Nice!  Some comments...

Steps 10 & 11 can be combined to just "make".

Although I don't use USB keys/mouse on my 2.6 box, I've added the
following three lines to /etc/modprobe.conf to clean up some startup
script errors (and possibly get USB keys/mouse working):

	install keybdev true
	install mousedev true
	alias hid usbhid

I should also mention that my 2.6 box runs FC1 now... but I think the
above applies to at least RH9 as well.

Regards,
