I think I know what is taking me so long to compile a kernel-the number of modules. The way I do it is I just copy and save via make xconfig the original knoppix config file. This way I avoid making decision as to what to include as modules. So many things on the config file are exotic names I never heard before and by default in knoppix are all in modules.

So could someone please give me a sample config file that is simple and can be used as a basis in kernel compilation
