I would recommend you download a new 2.2.16 or 17 if it's released yet (should
be soon now). Look in the file .config to see what the configuration options
are, that's the file that gets generated by make *config and gets included by
the Makefile.

2.4 is not an official release yet. It seems fairly stable to me but some areas
are still missing so I can't really recommend it. eg smbfs doesn't compile and
ISDN doesn't seem to work for me either - DECnet does though!
