[NTLUG:Discuss] suse kernel recompile

[Dennis Daupert]

I need to recompile suse 8.1 kernel (2.4.19-4GB) to switch on
support for video4linux.

I've only recompiled a kernel once or twice b4, so not a guru.

I tried going thru make menuconfig, selecting and recompiling,
and got a working kernel, tho some things are now broken (networking,
for instance) and got the "kernel too big" message.

I'd like to use the previous suse .config, but apparently when suse does
its installation it wipes the .config -- it's not in there.

Is there some way I can do this? I'm not deeply schooled enough yet
to know all the things to select as modules, which to build in, which to
skip.
