I always keep a working kernel in Oh neat-o! I didn't know there was a copy of the running config in /proc... Does this basically just insert the current kernel configuration inside the menuconfig interface of the new kernel as the starting point? How does this play with the new kernel options that have since appeared or those that have been eliminated? I suppose you still have to check over every menu in the new kernel to make sure you're not missing anything... -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
