Aaaaaargh!!
I've ALWAYS wondered about that.
Is this the same for Redhat/Suse/Debian?
Also, do you know of any program/script to generate "$(hostname).config" from
the information in /proc? I can't find any and I think this would be a useful
thing to run at mandrake_firstime after the generic kernel shipped with mdk
had sniffed out all the system information :-)
