I have Debian running on my SONY VAIO and it works like a dream. Only thing I am missing is the APM support. I downloaded the kernel source package, etc. and I am getting ready to compile the kernel with APM support.
I would like to keep my system "as it" but with APM support. Since I have never compiled the kernel before, I have no idea what to select and what to leave out when runing make config. Is there a way I can use the default settings of the Debian package and just add APM support so I end up with the exact same kernel, but with APM support?
