You can do this, there is a make target called 'oldconfig' which is supposed to migrate an older config file to the new kernel. I haven't heard of people using it from 2.2x->2.4.x but I would be suprised if it worked. I've been compiling kernels since mid 1997 and really have never used oldconfig, I usually just manually re-configure each kernel as I get them(habbit? maybe). nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
