Unless you have the same OS version as outlined in the book, you can't configure your kernel with only the information Hunt gives. Hunt gives you an overview of kernel configuration without excessive details on configuring a system that you don't have. Hunt, for the most part, includes everything you'll need to know about the subject without weighing the book down with trivia. I appreciate the unsaid trivia as much as the spoken butt-saving fact. We spend too much of our time reading information that serves no useful purpose.
Hunt is selective with information.
For example, when discussing firewalls, he gives a brief overview of firewalls without telling you how to build one. He ends the firewall discussion with the advice to hire it done unless you have time to kill. Too many authors describe the mountains that line the wrong-turn road. The important things are usually said. The omission of UUCP is understandable.
