Just copy your .config file from your old kernel directory into the ac-sources dir, and type "make oldconfig" at the prompt. This will only prompt you for new options. It's probably still advisable to go through the new kernel config anyway and make sure there's nothing out of order there.
The usual warnings about making sure you have a backup kernel you can boot to if the new one doesn't work out apply of course :) Good luck! alan On Mon, Sep 15, 2003 at 03:31:42PM -0400, Arlo Clauser wrote: > thanks for the help. > I will give the ac-sources a try tonight. > is there anyway I can reuse my .config file, or how can I print my kernel > config.
