[gentoo-catalyst] default kernel config for livecd build

[M. Edward (Ed) Borasky]

I'm building a custom livecd and I want to use the *default* kernel 
configuration file that goes with the stable kernel from 
"gentoo-sources". According to the snapshot I'm using, 20061217, the 
kernel is 2.6.18-r4. How can I find (or build) a kernel configuration 
file that represents a default kernel?

I don't think I follow you.  What are you looking for, exactly?  What
"default" do you mean?  The Release Engineering default?  The Linux
Kernel team's default?  My default for my personal machines?  There
really isn't a "default" per se.  If you want what *I* would be using
for 2007.0 (at this time), then you can grab the 2006.1 kernel config
that was used for your architecture.  In many cases, it is the exact
same one that "genkernel all" uses.

Yeah ... I think the 2007.0 default today is what I want -- something 
that would boot on an x86 and find all the hardware. What I'm trying to 
avoid is using my own kernel config. First of all, it's built for an 
Athlon T-Bird, second I'm running 2.6.19, third I've enabled just about 
every networking option there is, ...
