Subject: [expert] Compiling kernels.
> Hi Guys.
>
> I am running Mandrake 7.0 (kernel 2.2.14-15mdk) and want to upgrade the
> kernel to 2.4.test4 (for the improved USB support).
>
> However, I've never done a kernel upgrade/compile before.
>
> Now, I'm no expert with kernels, configurations, etc., so I want to keep
> all of my existing settings as they are, with the only difference being
> that the USB support is enabled.
>
> Is there a way of 'dumping' my current kernel's existing
> menuconfig/xconfig setup to a file that can be read into the
> menuconfig/xconfig for the new kernel? In other words, can I make my
> current kernel setup the default?
>
> One other thing - does anyone know how much disk space I need to have
> free in order to do the kernel upgrade?
how-to: typically 65M or 100M somewhere (need to check).

> Thanks in advance.
