Here are a couple classic newbie questions I hope someone can help with.

I have completed the install of the Mandrake 7.0 without problems. I noticed
the source for the kernel was not installed by default (nor was I asked for
it...)

1. How can I tell what the default config for the kernel that is currently
installed (even if I did not do the compile)?

2. When configuring the kernel for compile, need I only configure the couple
items I am interested in (ie lp, scsi) and the rest will be correct or must
I step thru every single choice when using make xconfig?

3. Almost everytime I try to compile anything, I get piles of warnings and
errors and no docs on what paths, variable etc I have to change in order for
the compile to run.  Where can I get a good overview of the compilation
process including what where and how headers, libs etc are?
