[Kernel-handbook-general] suggested topic for kernel handbook

[Ross Boylan]

Thanks for putting this together.

I visited the handbook because I was wondering what the best way to
obtain a stock Debian config file of an appropriate variety.

Some discussion of how to handle this would be nice.

I have a 2.4 config, but don't guess it's a very good starting point.


The easy solutions that occur to me all involve downloading huge files.
I see I could get the 3 or 4 relevant config sections from svn, but I'm
not sure if simply appending them is sufficient.  Some of the README's
make it sound as if it is, but I'm suspicious that it might not be quite
that simple.  I took a quick look at the build rules, but couldn't make
out what happens.
