2. Your kernel has to support PPP- "out of the box" the SuSE 5.2 kernel does not. This means you have to recompile the kernel using "make xconfig".
Not necessarily. Make config and make menuconfig work fine too. I dislike building kernels in x, but that is a personal preference.
3. (This is where I screwed up) "make dep clean zImage" just builds the kernel, not modules. After the >kernel's done making, you _have_ to make the modules.

For the record: make mrproper make config (or menuconfig or xconfig) make dep make clean make zImage make modules make modules_install cp arch/i386/boot/zImage /vmlinuz /sbin/lilo -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
