Thanks for the suggestion. I actually planned on doing this already though, as this is 
the only
choice at this point.

Next time I upgrade the Kernel, is there a way to have it use the settings used in the 
previous
kernel setup? Or do we actually have to go into the kernel menu and reconfigure all 
the kernel
settings manually each time?

I'm seriously doing as much reading as possible on this subject but I find myself 
getting lost in
the vast amount of info on this subject. Not trying to make excuses but its hard to 
stay goal
centric trying to sift through mounds of info trying to find what fits and what 
doesn't for what
I'm actually trying to accomplish. 

I realize I'm not going to understand this over night. This is all I really want. 
My goal is to understand to a degree what can be added and removed safely (in regards 
to the
hardware that I have on this pc) from the kernel setup-menuconfig, starting from the 
top of the
kernel menu and working all the way down to the bottom.

I understand that most Kernel menuconfig-setup options/selections will differ from one 
user to the
next, but any general examples would be nice. 
Is there any info out on the web that <Specifically> walks beginners or  even 
non-beginners
through the Kernel-menu-config from top to bottom? Possibly explaining each menu 
option along the
way.. :) This would be ideal. Even more ideal would be examples for the PIII 
architecture if
possible.

Thanks,
Joshua Banks
