config <kernelname>

[David Johnson <electronsciences%bellsouth.net@localhost>]

I am attempting to compile the i836 arch version 5.0 kernel in order to 
customize it to my group of machines.

I copied GENERIC to MYKERNEL and attempted to config it with the following

config MYKERNEL

and received a bunch of errors which prevented further progress.   The 
kernel building Howto explains that these must be cleaned up before 
going to the next step.

I would have thought that the existing GENERIC kernel config file would 
be suitable for reuse.  Am I doing something wrong or
what?

If I have failed to note a previous response to this question, please 
excuse the faux pas..  I'm just getting started with this and am prone 
to stumble here and there.

thanks,

David
