If you are a non-expert, you should not be working from this file. You must configure and build your own Linux kernel first, and you preferably should boot it to confirm that it works. Do ONE of the following commands, depending on how you configure your kernel.
Most relevant things are now right by default.
The compile and kernel build take a while, perhaps 5min on a 200MHz PCI machine with 32MB and good disks. No interaction is needed after the configuration save. The new kernel is built but not yet installed. Install the new kernel. This is properly error-checked, and the output is left in out.kinstall.
