Sounds like you want to dig up a copy of the current kernel .config, and have it as a reference. If you have it, I'd recommend learning the debian way to make kernel packages, which can be learned with man make-kpkg, but boils down to unpacking the kernel source, then make-kpkg --revision your1 kernel-image (or, if you want the whole kit & caboodle, change kernel-image to binary) it's fun ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This message is intended only for the personal and confidential use of the designated recipient(s) named above.
