i can certainly send you one off-line, but i didn't do anything
out of the ordinary.  mostly, i started with the shipped config
file you find in /boot and

  1) removed tons of stuff i didn't need
  2) moved from modules to built-in stuff i knew i was going to
     use

so i don't think there's anything magical about the config file.
what burned me was, given that i was doing all this on a laptop,
the weirdness in /etc/init.d/pcmcia and that extraneous pcmcia/
directory that gets placed in the /lib/modules directory.

and i'm *still* not sure what the rationale is in /etc/init.d/pcmcia
for that directory check.  can anyone explain what that condition
check is trying to accomplish?

just curious.
