Yup, I understand that - I have a few sets of "instructions" here - 
that's why I downloaded the 2.6.12.1 source... to "match" the config 
file I already have.

Thanks very much. As a matter of interest, is there any/much change 
between the .12 and .13 config files? And how do you tell?

Noob kernel bloke questions :-) I learn fast, though.

I started downloading .13, as I saw it was the latest stable at 
kernel.org, but then I realised that I didn't know whether the .12 
config file that I have in /boot would work with it, so I took the 
course of action I've already mentioned.

I have the laptop working with a "Debian-style" Knoppix install, so I 
know that it works with 2.6.12, since that's what Knoppix v4 uses. 
However, acpi is off and the fan noise is driving me made :-O
