If you want to tweak your 1.3 kernel, don't use that source. Go to the 1.3
distribution (where the instalation files were) and get the 1.3 source.
There's a syssrc.tgz file which will hold the 1.3 kernel source. Use it.

Then cd to <kernel source>/arch/pmax/conf.

cp GENERIC <YOUR_KERNEL'S_NAME>
edit (vi/emacs) <YOUR_KERNEL'S_NAME> and tweak features
config <YOUR_KERNEL'S_NAME>
cd ../compile/<YOUR_KERNEL'S_NAME>
make depend && make

Before actually making, you'll need to apply the patch to fix the mouse
port.

Take care,

Bill
