Yes, this can be a problem. Here is the procedure I use, but I
definitely agree that info is needed in the manual and a kernel with
apm on would be a nice addition to the CD.
To Configure kernel
cd /usr/src/linux
change Makefile to uncomment INSTALL_PATH (and SMP for multiprocessors)
make mrproper (only first time as it removes .config)
cp /lib/modules/2.0.xx /lib/modules/2.0.xx-save
loop
make xconfig
make dep
make clean
make zlilo
cp /lib/modules/2.0.xx /lib/modules/2.0.xx-prev
make modules
make modules_install
cd pcmcia
make config
make all
cd modules; make install; cd ../clients; make install
A key is the last line (instead of simply make install) to avoid
changing the redhat etc files.
Sometimes I use the method in the manual (make boot and friends)
instead of zlilo and INSTALL_PATH.
Sometimes I replace the cp INSIDE the loop with mv.
