The installation CD for SuSE back in the 1990s had a big how-to PDF, plus another documenting all the kernel compilation option flags ( we didn't have enough RAM then to run fat-and-happy kernels with everything included ). I printed-out both of those over a long period on the work printers, using the reverse side of single-sided pages recovered from the paper recycling bins. And then settled in for a weekend... I still remember choosing to include AX.25 in the kernel because it seemed like a cool thing with which I'd want to experiment at some point. Never got around to it!
