Where do I make these changes?

[Barry Young]

I trying to add a video capture card to my Linux box.

I am a NEWBIE ..

The documentation says to add these lines:

# I2C support
CONFIG_I2C=m
CONFIG_I2C_ALGOBIT=m

# Multimedia devices
CONFIG_VIDEO_DEV=m

# Video For Linux
CONFIG_VIDEO_BT848=m

Is there a main configuration file or does each application installed or compiled have its own ini file or configuration file?Where do I add these lines?They also recommend a program called xawtv and they supplied a link.  This program source code needs to be compiled?  Do I do that with the cc command?Is this common for linux / unix programs? They supply the source?Thanks!Barry
