Re: [gentoo-user] make oldconfig
2008/8/4, James [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hello, It seems like I remember that 'make oldconfig' is not needed any more, to pass the current (booted) kernel option to the .config for building a new kernel. Of is 'make oldconfig' still a good idea? James At least in the kernel Makefile there is no hint about /proc/config.gz which contains the running kernel configuration, so I think make oldconfig or your favourite kernel configuration tool is still needed. If there is no .config or .config.old it will load a default configuration which is probably not what you want.

[gentoo-user] way off-topic - is it possible to log webmail messages content in an enterprise network
Hi, guys. Sorry to post such off-topic message, but I didn't know where I could ask this question. I know that things such as address, trafic, bandwith are easy to be tracked and logged, but what about, say, my gmail messages - is it possible to log them also? Which package should I use or look for? Thanks Francisco -- If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange apples then you and I will still each have one apple. But if you have an idea and I have one idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will have two ideas. - George Bernard Shaw

Maybe an updated howto is what is really needed? One that skips genkernel and such? James I think this is going to be a debate sort of like which is better, KDE or Gnome? I have to say, when I run make oldconfig, I don't run make menuconfig unless I have some problems. I'm not saying that is the right way either. A lot of this may depend on the situation and hardware. I'm sort of like this, if you run make oldconfig then what is there to change when running make menuconfig afterwards? My recommendation, run make oldconfig and answer no to most everything if your hardware works currently. Keep in mind, most new stuff is for new hardware. The only exception may be some of the new stuff with regard to managing the CPU and such. Those you may want to research. Also keep in mind that help is available even during the make oldconfig. Hit the question mark for that. After that, make your kernel and give it a run. Save your old working one just in case. Another thing to do before copying your old config, run make mrproper or make mrclean. Those will give you a fresh new kernel source. I'm not aware of a current howto. May can try google for Linux? www.google.com/linux Dale :-) :-)
