No need for docs specific to version and dist. Unless the dist has
_badly_ mangled the kernel source tree. Which generally doesn't happen.
Take a look at /usr/src/linux/README. With a little luck,
your case should start at the line that reads
CONFIGURING the kernel
All manual operations in configuration and kernel build are
from /usr/src/linux, _not_ from any subdirectory.
Try to follow the instructions in README.
If no luck, post specifics:
-- What command did you give
-- In what directory
-- What were the error messages (if a whole bunch of errors
resulted, what were the first two or three messages)
> Also, was wondering how to configure the kernel for ppp?
Follow the README, it'll take you to a configure script which
will prompt you.
