ymfpci and USB support are built into the 2.4.18 kernel's available
with Woody. You should not need to build your own unless you know for
a fact that the pre-built kernel is no good for you.

ls /boot/config* contains the options used to build the kernels you
install.
and, of course, /lib/modules/kernel-<version>/....
It *is* all kind of Greek like you said, but it's pretty easy once you
get over the initial shock (much like learning Greek, I guess ;-)
