My heart-felt thanks to Lowell, and all who helped me with this challenge! I'm a bit wiser now thanks to all of you. Fact: I don't have sources for the 4.1.1 R install. Fact: I found out that the default or main ftp site I was using for the install doesn't have ver 4.1.1R's sources. (Does anyone know the URL so I can get them?) Assumption: I can't customize or create my own kernel until I download the sources which includes the customizable text file for the GENERIC kernel (I know I can do a basic customization via sysinstall).
