Thanks ! Looks good. I have to add the part about "make config" to my guide. I'm writing it as I proceed with my own kernel compile. My aim is to make a guide that is accessible to Linux newbies while allowing them access to the full advantages of building a custom kernel.
The clearest guide I have found so far that explains very well some of the complex issues involved is ... Linux Kernel in a Nutshell O'Reilly book by Greg Kroah-Hartman (well known Kernel developer) ... http://www.kroah.com/lkn/ ... it can be downloaded for free off that page (Creative Commons license), and it comes highly recommended.
