if you have a decent display (or network access) see what
"make xconfig" does for you. it may be a curses/ncurses
version issue (was for me). by the time you're done cursing
[so to speak] you'd be better off in X11. if you just want
to get the thing working then:
take your pre3 .config and move it to /usr/src (i.e., "..").
blow off /usr/src/linux-2.4.2-pre3.
re-extract 2.4.2 into, say, linux-2.4.2.
cp ../config ./.config;
make oldconfig;
this will re-use the old (assumedly working) .config from 2.4.3-pre3
w/ questions about anything new it doesn't have answers for. you
can use this method to migrate up versions w/o having to wander
through the entire process each time.
