You can IMPORT your old settings into the menu-configurator and then go thru each of the choices one at a time, to be sure that new conflicts are dealt with. This seems to work fine. Merely utilizing the old settings is not quite enough as you might not end up compiling or configuring a required new module. -JMS -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of David Boles Sent: Tuesday, December 19, 2000 3:58 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [expert] kernel configuration question I apologize if this shows up more than once. My log shows that I have already posted this message but I have never seen it appear. Suppose you had kernel-2.2.16 configured just they way you wanted it to be configured. And you saved the .config file. Then you want to upgrade/change to kernel-2.2.17 or 2.2.18, etc or you wanted to upgrade the distribution. Could you use the original .config file with the other kernels to save all of the 'little tweaks' and just have to read/set the new, added features or would you have to start all over again? In other words does .config set "features" of line 22 (y/m/n), or line 22 (y/m/n) no matter what it says? -- David Boles [EMAIL PROTECTED]
