Yes, this can be a problem.  Here is the procedure I use, but I
definitely agree that info is needed in the manual and a kernel with
apm on would be a nice addition to the CD.

To Configure kernel
	cd /usr/src/linux
	change Makefile to uncomment INSTALL_PATH (and SMP for multiprocessors)
	make mrproper (only first time as it removes .config)
	cp /lib/modules/2.0.xx /lib/modules/2.0.xx-save
	loop
		make xconfig
		make dep
		make clean
		make zlilo
		cp /lib/modules/2.0.xx /lib/modules/2.0.xx-prev
		make modules
		make modules_install
		cd pcmcia
		make config
		make all
		cd modules; make install;  cd ../clients; make install

A key is the last line (instead of simply make install) to avoid
changing the redhat etc files.

Sometimes I use the method in the manual (make boot and friends)
instead of zlilo and INSTALL_PATH.

Sometimes I replace the cp INSIDE the loop with mv.
