I only remembered it because I was in exactly the same situation, trying to get genkernel to not overwrite my kernel config. I remember being annoyed that genkernel didn't have a --no-oldconfig command line option. I'm surprised it still doesn't. After all, several other options have corresponding --no-* variants, like "--[no-]mrproper". Oh, well. [snip] Happy to help (hey, that acronymises to HTH, too!) -- Marc Joliet
