new to amd64

	After years using i386, I finally installed amd64 and
... everything is just like I fondly remember.   :-)
	Thanks to all those who have made that happen.
	However, I'm still a little nervous about the things I don't
know yet.  I'm about to build a custom kernel; would someone please
take a look at the config file (appended) and tell me if there's
anything I've added, or left out, that's going to break something?

	Respectfully,


				Robert Huff
