With an explanation for all the modules and what they are for and which to pick?
Are dependencies solved automatically?
Is it that easy to pick only the modules for your hardware, say Core2Quad-module, graphic-card-module, mainboard chipset, usb, spdif, hdmi, ac97, ext4, done?
I always used the config of my distribution kernel so far...thats why it needed forever...
