Some thoughts. I prefer to use the `make menuconfig` instead of pulling up in X you can run this from the CLI. I find it a little faster once you get used to reading it - but that's a personal preference. Just be sure to tell people that this is for a 2.4.x kernel series. 2.6.x is a little different in that you don't need to do the `make dep` in fact your compile line for a 2.6 basically comes down to this: make && make modules_install && make install The `&&` between commands means that the next command will be started iff the previous command exits without errors. Use `;` between commands if you want it to run the next command no matter what happens. You may not need to do `make modules_install` if you make a monolithic kernel without modules.
