--I tried emailing you via the links on this board, but you're not available for that according to your profile. My makefile is ~24K, I don't think this board supports posts that long. Post your obfuscated email ( me at whatever dot blah ) and I'll send you my 2.4.22 config.

--NOTE: You WILL have to go thru the kernel config menus yourself line-by-line and change things according to your hardware! Don't just use my config file blindly, I can pretty much guarantee the kernel won't boot right on your box. For starters, you need a copy of your current ' lsmod ' so that you retain your network card and other settings. I also elected to compile reiserfs into the kernel directly so an initrd wouldn't be needed.

--Use of other users' kernel config files is intended as a learning experience as to what can be taken out. I elected to keep a lot of stuff like network cards in, JIC I changed the hardware; that's why I have ' discover ' installed. But if you want, you can take out EVERYTHING that doesn't apply to your current system. The downside is that if you add any new hardware, you have to reboot with Knoppix CD 1st, find out what got loaded, and then recompile your kernel with that info.

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