Sure, just please don't strip out the part that actually does what you just did - check the running kernel. I don't think we should assume that the user has the configured+prepared sources for a kernel just lying around all the time. I don't build in /usr/src (which is apparently discouraged by upstream anyway), so /proc/config.gz is really the only reliable indication of how things are setup. Well, that or a config file in /boot which I'm sure others don't use (but make install puts it there). -- Rich
