In case you're not using Debian, just copy the config file over. It's <directory you untarred linux>/.config. On my machine that's /usr/src/kernel/linux-2.4.10/.config. That or when you create the configuration, use the Save to Alternate file and Load from Alternate File options to use another file. This allows you to keep a record of the configs you've been using. I haven't run into any problems copying config files across kernel versions as long as I run make menuconfig or xconfig once on the file, just to make sure all the options are set. -- Jon Schewe | http://mtu.net/~jpschewe | jpschewe at mtu.net For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. - Romans 8:38-39
