This may be true, I never heard of it before. I do know that this `append=' approach has been working OK on several machines for me. I think it also has been the only way to do it for a long time. > > Any suggestions why a kernel recompile would just lose everything, when I use > 'make xconfig'? If I recall correctly, you were talking about two different kernel versions. The kernel configuration is in /usr/src/kernel-source-2.0.xx/.config if you installed the debian kernel-source packages. If you first configured kernel 2.0.35, you can transfer the configuration to 2.0.36 if you tell the `make xconfig' program to read the configuration from ../kernel-source-2.0.35. If you don't, you will get the default settings for the 2.0.36 kernel. HTH, Eric -- E.L.
