Hallo,

well, not specifically 6.1  - I would have had the same problems with other
versions if I'd thought about it. Following is getting on my nerves.

1. ppp. do I have to recompile the kernel just to get ppp support? I've done
this with previous versions and had no trouble but with 6.1 after installing
the default version and subsequently trying to add ppp I get "system too
big" and "try make bzImage" error 2 . When I do this it is still too big.
Hence the question. Also perhaps I've misunderstood something (am fairly new
to Linux) but as ppp is so  frequently used why isn't it in the default
kernel? When I was at the absolute beginner stage I spent hours trying to
set up ppp/kppp only to discover that it was supported by my kernel. These
things are difficult for beginners working alone.

2. Again I have the feeling I've misunderstood something. When I select a
configuration to load during installation there is always much more stuff in
there than I would ever want. Can I somehow edit out the stuff I don't want
BEFORE installation. Previously I've removed it after installation but
always with  the guilty feeling that this can't be the way to do it!!

BTW I'm using the German language version.
