Kernel 2.6.0test1 Mini-HOWTO

[Marino Fernandez <mjferna@yahoo.com>]

After much fiddling, I finally made this kernel work fine with my machine 
(Fujitsu C 7651 lifebook (Laptop)), Pentium III, I830m integrated graphics, 
PCMCIA modem (thanks to shitty winmodem).

1) make a /sys folder
2) enter this in fstab:
sysfs  /sys   sysfs   defaults     0    0
none  /proc/bus/usb  usbfs  defaults  0  0
3) apt-get instal modules-init-tools
4) Copy .config file from the previous kernel (mine is 2.4.21)... although I
am not 100% sure this is needed.
5) make menuconfig (deselect the many many modules that won't compile; my
previous kernel was based on a Knoppix install, with all sorts of modules
that I don't really need):
