Copying a kernel over...

I have 2 G5 xserves both running YDL 4.0. On one of them, the sysadmin previous to me had compiled a custom kernel to include 8021q support. My question is, is there a simple way to package up this custom kernel and install it on my other xserve? Thanks a lot!

you can either compile the kernel and build a rpm package, transfer and install the rpm on the other machein

or use /usr/src/linux? (that's usually the path for kernel sources) to copy over the kernel
with it's custom .config file and build it there again.

the first version would probably the preferred way, how to do so is probably on the board (use search) or you'll find a howto really easy on the web.
