It was useful when glibc used the generic kernel-headers package. In order for that to work, the kernel-headers package must contain an autoconf.h which depends on having a .config file. The .config file is usually just the default config file for that architecture. I didn't use the kernel's default directly since it tends to get out-of-sync with what's actually in the kernel. These days it isn't that useful anymore since glibc doesn't use kernel-headers at all. -- Visit Openswan at http://www.openswan.org/ Email: Herbert Xu ~{PmV>HI~} <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Home Page: http://gondor.apana.org.au/~herbert/ PGP Key: http://gondor.apana.org.au/~herbert/pubkey.txt
