[expert] .config files for the kernels in the kernel*mdk.*.rpm files?
Dear Mandrake experts, being the lazy guy I am, I hate doing all those settings in the ``make xconfig'' screen when I just want to add some "advanced" feature (e.g. ipchains). However, if I don't want an all-too-plain-vanilla kernel (no i586 optimizations etc.), I have to go through all these settings. I think it would be very nice to have the .config files used for making the *mdk kernels available as starting points for compiling your own kernels. Does anybody know where I could get them from?

You can extract them from kernel SRPMS. p.f. - RNDr. Peter FREIMANN, ICQ# 1181033 tel: 0602-464-800, 0331-362375 ESNET s.r.o.(Internet provider) http://www.esnet.cz nam.

Re: [expert] .config files for the kernels in the kernel*mdk.*.rpm files?
I just have to say that I totally agree. The most painful way to do it is to download the kernel source rpm, install it, grab the .config, then uninstall it. Then download the source from ftp.kernel.org, and copy your .config there. The reason I did all this, instead of just using the source rpm, was that I had been having trouble compiling the VMWare modules for smp due to the kernel header info. -- Stephen On Sun, 11 Jun 2000, you wrote: Dear Mandrake experts, being the lazy guy I am, I hate doing all those settings in the ``make xconfig'' screen when I just want to add some "advanced" feature (e.g. ipchains).
