So I thought: but it isn't! I think that's because it's picking up a
.config that isn't marking the module packages for inclusion

That lots of modules aren't marked for inclusion as loadable modules
or compiled in ... I assume ... but the bottom line is that I don't
know, exactly what they are as I have the basic source tree of 2.4.18
from the distro and the working image from 2.4.18-bf2.4 but I don't
know (do I?) what the .config is that made the 2.4.18-bf2.4 and if I
could start from that I think I'd be home and dry and could just add
RAID and take out quite a bit I don't need and probably add a bit of
IP tracking ... trouble is, I can't see how I get that starting
config for 2.4.18-bf2.4. Any idea how do I find out?
Should it only be the RAID built-in?
> Maybe start with the working config
but I don't think the kernel-image package gives me that, or, to be
more accurate, I'm sure it does but it's not in the /usr/src
directory tree obviously and I'm looking for someone on the list who
I'm sure does know, to tell me how I can get this ...

Yup

Don't understand this. Can you expand?

I know I've looked through that several times and it's probably I've
got to that point where I keep misreading the same bit ...

Nah, I'm a group therapist and family/systems therapist by main
training so I guess I turn to the group/family PRN. Sorry if it's a
pain for those who really know what they're doing: I'd offer you a
free place in a group but I run them in a high secure hospital so
you'd have to kill someone first to get in...
Thanks again!
