I am trying to install a pseudo device. I do not see it listed in my present kernel. The installation was for user implementation not developer. The Handbook ch. 12.1.2 "Building a ppp ready kernel" says to check my compile directory (probably /sys/i386/conf) and examine the kernel. The problem is that the cd-rom did not install a directory like that. I have sys file in root and the two files called "kernel" and "kernel.GENERIC". Why can't I do this using the User Config Utility? If someone is going to explain it please keep it simple, I am only a novice. I appreciate the efforts from those that have tried to help!
