: I am looking for a kernel that someone has already made that has
: busmouse (not ps2mouse) support, as well as PPP, and IDE support and
: would rather not go through the haggle creating my own.
: If one of you already has one of these, and is willing to let me have
: a copy of the binary (it's for a pentium class machine, but 386/486 is
: fine too), could you please let me know;
That is a bad idea. You should always compile your own kernels.
Here's the entire command line to remake your kernel, assuming you
already have gcc installed, and the linux source in /usr/src/linux, and
you are in the /usr/src/linux directory:
make config ; make dep ; make clean ; make zlilo
That runs the configuration script, sets up all the dependencies, cleans
out old binaries (just to be safe), compiles the kernel, compresses it,
and reruns LILO to use your new kernel. It also moves your old kernel to
/vmlinuz.old.
If you need any help with it, write me, but you really should remake it
yourself. It's not very difficult.
