Ther is always the Kernel-HOWTO in your user doc dir, and the
/usr/src/linux/README
They will explain howto compile and install a kernel.
The details of CONFIG_SYSVIPC
System V IPC (CONFIG_SYSVIPC) [Y/n/?] ?
CONFIG_SYSVIPC:
Inter Process Communication is a suite of library functions and
system calls which let processes (running programs) synchronize
and exchange information. It is generally considered to be a good
thing, and some programs won't run unless you say Y here. In
particular, if you want to run the DOS emulator dosemu under Linux
(read the DOSEMU-HOWTO, available via FTP (user: anonymous) in
ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO), you'll need to say Y
here.
You can find documentation about IPC with "info ipc" and also in
section 6.4 of the Linux Programmer's Guide, available via FTP
(user: anonymous) from
ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/LDP/programmers-guide.
Saying Y here enlarges your kernel by about 7 KB. Just say Y.
System V IPC (CONFIG_SYSVIPC) [Y/n/?]
I thought it was default in most distro's. check in your /boot dir,
maybe there is a file called config, or whats_in_2.2.xx
