This is one of the many guides for this purpose, check it out and good luck.

Also, did you try google? You will get many results.

BTW, if this is your first time compililing a kernel, try using fedora's existing kernel config file (probably located in /boot/config), and modifying the options.

You need the kernel sources (30-40) MB from www.kernel.org or the site you mentioned (so I assume you already have it), and you need to have a working linux system, with development packages installed. If the command "gcc" returns "command not found" or something like that, you know that you don't have them installed.

BTW, check this guide for a nice step by step procedure
