Actually, it's less difficult than finding out half-way through
a three-day execution cycle that you have the wrong kernel config.
"make menuconfig" is blindingly simple on its own. Discovering
which hardware your machine actally has is difficult, which
drivers are appropriate can be a True Pain (tm); but actually
configuring the kernel is blindingly easy -- if admittedly rahter
boring [I've found a moderate quantity of decent beer helps the
process along quite nicely].
Q: What is it about configuring a kernel that you are finding
most difficult?
I may be able to provide some poitners to simplify it.
