I want to compile the latest kernel source using menuconfig. I read the kernel how-to and miscellaneous other documentation on the subject but still haven't found anything that explains the options in menuconfig. I don't want to include anything I don't absolutely need. I want to compile the smallest possible kernel need. I used the help function but it doesn't seem to give all the info I need. Is there a recommended book for dealing with these kind of kernel issues?

Hi. I don't know of any good books on the subject (I haven't really looked), but http://metalab.unc.edu/mdw/HOWTO/Kernel-HOWTO.html contains a lot of good information. Specifically, http://metalab.unc.edu/mdw/HOWTO/Kernel-HOWTO-3.html#ss3.3 has information on the configuration options. If there are any specific options that have you confused, post them and I'm sure we can help you work it out..
