Very true. But the way I learned was to sit down one day in front of my
machine and just read the help sections. I botched my first few kernels,
but after that, smooth sailing. Perhaps I enjoy learning the hard way,
but ever since compiling my kernel on my p100, I haven't gone back. It's
definately kind of intimidating at first, but as long as you do things
right, you can find where your problems are, boot into your old kernel,
and fix it.
