Okay.. I will try to compile now if fail I will try again later.
wiki or book I think it's still confusing me, if there any cheat
sheet for kernel configuration, please let me know about it.
No cheat sheets that I know of. Matter of fact. When you use make
menuconfig you get a default config from the kernel source regarding
your hardware.
Depending what you want to do you will want to remove unneeded
drivers. What I did a while back was a allnoconfig and build only what
I needed for my server.
Gentoo usually has some good docs on kernel configuration. Maybe look
there. It's really straight forward. When you look at the help for
options in the kernel, when it says "safe to say N here" or "safe to
say Y here" you should adhere to that. As far as drivers, disable what
you don't need and enable what yo do need. Take an hour or so to get
used to the kernel config process. It'll help in the long run.
Explore, read the help text of each option, that's fine when starting
out new with kernel configuration. When I first started configuring
kernels back in Linux 2.0 days, I had a mentor and I'm sure I made him
sick of questions. I knew it and I started looking on my own. heh. You
aren't the first and you will find your path.
Sincerely,
William Harrington
