The file /boot/config-2.2.20-idepci holds the configuration of your current kernel (assuming its version is 2.2.20-idepci). Copy this file to /usr/src/linux-<whatever>/.config and run 'make oldconfig'. Saying no to all questions will give you a new kernel with exactly the old configuration. -alf -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
