Any chance you could offer some useful advice, maybe tell me something helpful 
or something that I don't already know? Like I said, I have a running kernel, 
I just want the source tree and the config files.  Comedi is slightly less 
than trivial to build out of place and the easiest solution is to get the 
kernel source and config files and build it in situ.
