Basically, when you patch in a new kernel version, it screams through your .config, and throws up any new kernel options (i.e. ones that aren't in your .config). make config-like interface, but this does fine between kernel versions and is IMHO the best option if you want to just go up a version and see what new CONFIG_ options there are. :) d -- Daniel Stone Linux Kernel Developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 G!>CS d s++:- a---- C++ ULS++++$>B P---- L+++>++++ E+(joe)>+++ W++ N->++ !o K? w++(--) O---- M- V-- PS+++ PE- Y PGP>++ t--- 5-- X- R- tv-(!) b+++ DI+++ D+ G e->++ h!(+) r+(%) y?
