I'll admit i've never played with 2.5.x.  I've heard/read that it uses a
different kernel configuration mechanism (not xconfig/menuconfig??).  is
this the case?  if so, could you elaborate on how building a kernel
differes with 2.5.x?  maybe a short SxS for folks who are experienced
building 2.4.x kernels?
