Ah! What you have there is a gotcha in the current Debian kernel-building documentation. Most dists put a .config in the linux directory that reflects the options used to build the distributed kernel. Debian doesn't. However, you can get it from /boot/config-2.2.17 (if you are running Potato).

About a month ago when installing a new system, I tried installing the Gnome that comes with Woody (I've been using Helix Gnome on other systems). I saw some strange behavior, but perhaps it was because I didn't have a lot of suggested packages installed at the time. And, although a trivial thing,
