Re: [gentoo-user] Real qucik question - Copying over kernel configuration for same machines
I just realized that we were running 3.5.7 on the older systems, and the current version is 3.7.10. Would I be cutting too many corners to copy over the ..config from the older machine.

Since the new machine will probably have a newer kernel, I suggest 1) copy /usr/src/linux/.config from the working machine to the new machine 2) run make oldconfig 3) then run male and make modules_install make oldconfig will give you a chance to set values for options in the newer kernel that don't exist in the older kernel. -- Walter Dnes waltd...@waltdnes.org I don't run desktop environments; I run useful applications
