installing newer kernel in YDL 3.0, which .config?

[Richard D. Gill]

Hi everyone

I have YDL 3.0 running, really great, on an iBook2
(dual booting OS X). I would like to build a 
newer kernel in order to get hfsplus support. 
Being a relative newbie it would be convenient 
to depart from the .config file used to build 
the kernel supplied by Yellowdog.

In /usr/src/linux-2.4.20-8d/config there are a 
number of configuration files. Is one of these 
the actual .config used to build the actually
installed kernel? If so which...? What is the
purpose of the others...?

I already tried to build a 2.4.22 kernel departing
from the configuration file linux-2.4.20-ppc.config
in the directory I just mentioned. I was unable to
do "make modules": a lot of errors came up while
it was processing "char". So either my guess for
the .config was very wrong or it is not this easy
at all...

Any comments/advice would be welcome...

Yours
