Al, if you look in the README file in the top of the kernel tree, there's a very good section with explanations about the various kernel configuration options available for make. I find it amazing, though, that even if I copy my old .config, it still takes me so much time to make sure all the settings are correct for a given machine. Hasn't anyone come up with a handy look-through-my-lspci-output-and-create-a-skeleton-kernel-config tool? Or does it already exist and we just call him "Pappy"?
