Just copy your existing config to .config in the top-level directory, then run make oldconfig which will ask only those questions for options not in your old config.

No, just choose the right options :-) A few things to take care about: - Input layer - Linux keycodes (and not old-style ADB keycodes) - no standard serial support (only Mac-style ports) Re. PlanB, see my other post. Cheers Michel ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Michel Lanners | " Read Philosophy. Study Art. 23, Rue Paul Henkes | Ask Questions.
