If nobody sends you a .config (I would, but I use neither 2.4.8 nor an
iMac), try the following:
Step 1: It will take some time, but just go around in menuconfig and get
help on everything in question. Include what you would like, etc.
make dep, make vmlinux.
Step 2: move your mouse around a bit during the process so the screen
won't go blank. I don't think the blanking has any effect, but it might.
Step 3: If there's an error message (i.e. the kernel won't compile) take
note of it and go back to the menuconfig. eliminate the source that's
giving the error.
You say you're a newbie, so I'm not expecting much. Perhaps you've done
this part already -- I have no way of knowing. I've been running into a
ton of trouble with kernel compiling for 2.4.7, but after much trial and
error I got it to compile with sacrificing only NTFS support. (Some of
the other stuff I substituted)
Good luck,
John Norair
