kernel reconfigure

hi..

I'm not really fimiliar with reconfiguring and recompiling the kernel... I wish to add some stuff, but I've never done it before.

Can anybody give me a hint? I know there is some sort of menu-config thing, where you can check "boxes" ( ) and stuff like that..

Or maby someone has a great link for a manual?

TLDP has a kernel how-to but it is RH specific I believe. However if you go to kernel.org and get a release and untar and unzip it it comes with a README file that has cursory instructions and if you read the TLDP guide you MAY make it thru it...although it is not exactly a walk in the park if you are new to it. But how do we learn?

I have hosed dozens of installs with a wrong selection or compile...what the hell. That's why we are here right?

works perfectly well every time ... as for which elements you need, just don't erase too many things at once
