make xconfig wont work for me (2.0.35) but if you could not use your cdrom,
then you did not include support for iso9660 filesystem, if we are talking
2.0.34 here then you did not say "y" or "m" to NLS, defining NLS will allow
you to see the config option for iso9660, dos fat, vfat and a lot of code
pages for those options.
Possably you wount understand what the need is for nls-code-pages, so just
make them as modules, and let kerneld load them when they are needed.
Dont forget to say "y" to Kerneld support either.
All information on what can be compiled into a kernel is viewable in make
config, the text is taken from /usr/src/linux/Documentaion/Configure.help
which you can read with 'less'.
Help on making and installing a kernel is found in /usr/src/linux/README.
