Hi all, Whenever I have compiled a kernel - twice so far on Debian, many times on Slackware - I've struck this issue.
There are several features of a kernel that are expected to be configured a particular way for a particular distribution. For example, proc fs support, UNIX98 ptys or whatever they're called, whether parallel printer support should be a module or not. Does Debian (or any distro for that matter) have documents on this? Is the config file in the kernel source package preconfigured with these defaults? Or do I just have to do lots of research myself before I start to make sure I get a kernel that will function properly with my system? Thanks, Richard
