Copy .config from the previous /usr/src/linux/ to the new one, run 'make xconfig' & tell it to load the .config you copied. That will keep all your previous settings, but allow you to react to new features of the new kernel. 'Save' when you're satisfied -- you mb quicker than me at that (smile) -- & compile & test the new kernel as usual (I spend c 60 min on configure). I tried 'make oldconfig' & found it a problem because there was no help readily available, whereas 'xconfig' has a whole panel on the screen showing relevant help, while also allowing easy re-use of your previous .config (as above). Of course, always keep >= 1 previous kernel available for emergencies. -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Centre for Urban & Community Studies TRANSIT `-O----------O---' University of Toronto -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
