This is the procedure I use for updating Fedora Core Linux with the
web100 patches.  You will have to figure out how CentOS manages
kernel sources and how to get them on to your system, but once
you have them there it's pretty much the same from the "patch" line
on.  This assumes you have installed the kernel source RPM on the
system, which gets dropped in /usr/src/redhat, and you have to
use rpmbuild to get the tar file unpacked and all the Fedora
patches to the kernel installed (that's what the first few lines do).

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
rpmbuild -bp kernel-2.6.spec
cd /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.xx/linux-2.6.xx
patch -b -p1 < web100-kernel-patch (you supply the path and filename)

edit the Makefile and change EXTRAVERSION to what you want the last part of
the kernel name to be

make mrproper

figure out what file in configs matches your configuration (smp, i686, etc)
cp configs/<config file> .config

make oldconfig
supply answers to the web100 questions

make
make modules_install
make install
