Hi List Folks,

First, let me point out that I am fairly seasoned at kernel recompiling...  
I have done dozens successfully, so please don't let the naive question
below cause you to send me to the Howto :)

With my new RH9 install, I figured it'd be best to recreate the stock 
kernel, as a starting point.  I thought I should be able to:

1) cp /boot/config-2.4.20-8 .config
2) make dep && etc etc

However, this results in a gcc error and an aborted compile.  Shouldn't I 
be able to use that config?

Second, if I run make xconfig, and don't do anything but "save and exit", 
it drastically changes the .config I copied from /boot.  Not just the 
order... new options there, etc.

What critical piece of RedHat knowledge am I missing?

Thanks,

~gb
