    if you're compiling from a 2.4 kernel then maybe it's trying to stick the 2.4 kernel config in the new kernel. you'd be best off doing a manual configure if that's the case then trying to compile it.
    Here's why Linux is easier than Windows:
    Package Managers! Apt-Get and Portage (among others) allow users to install programs MUCH easier than Windows can.
    Hardware Drivers. In SuSE, ALL the hardware is detected and installed automatically! How is this harder than Windows' constant disc changing and rebooting?
