You don't need to use 'make xconfig' to configure your kernel; 'make menuconfig' works without X, for example, as does the old 'make config'. In this case you won't need specs for your video card or monitor. If you don't know the information for your sound card, you can build a kernel without sound support. You should read the README file at the top of your kernel source tree before trying to build your own kernel. It's probably also a good idea to install the kernel-package package, which builds Debian packages out of kernels. -- _____________________________ / \ "Dad was reading a book called | David Maze | _Schroedinger's Kittens_.
