Could someone pls help me in getting the quickest "to-do list" for
using the downloaded Kernel and to reconfig it in order to:
- support PPP / ISDN
- support mounting CDROMS and NTFS partitions
- able to support the "Sharing Internet Connection"
- printing
I know I should read in detail the HowTo, but I have not a lot
of time and the multiple options in the Kernel configuration
are, sometimes, difficult to understand for me.
Thanks a lot in advance. Best regards
