I have compiled a "customized" 2.0.33 kernel for myself, after 
checking the HOW-TOs and following threads in this list. I now have a 
300k kernel that boots without a problem and works fine, as far as I 
can tell. Except...

Issue 1:

At boot time, dmesg shows nothing amiss. However, when I start pppd 
(compiled into the kernel), the message "localhost syslog: IPX support 
is not present in the kernel". OK, I _know_ that, I do not use Netware, 
am not on Ethernet, and so I excluded IPX from the kernel. I commented 
out the IPX lines from /etc/services, but no joy.

What should I do to eliminate the message, or should I bother about it?

Issue 2:

I haven't upgraded the kernel, only recompiled it. My previous modules
seem to work OK. Need I do a 'make modules_install' or am I headed for
trouble if I don't?
