Heya,
LOL....this a comon mistake....the Linux kernel can't be as big as you
want ...try to remove some unnecesary things from the kernel....try to use
the option "M" (Building as a module) instead of "*" (Build in kernel).
For PPP support you need only the TCP/IP network and the things related to
PPP. Argh....another thing...2.0.32 is VERY OLD....get a newer version of
kernel..the latest stable verions is 2.0.35 but the 2.0.36 is on it's way
Cheers,
