I typically just use "make oldconfig", as the number of changes from one version to the next aren't that great normally. Doing a make oldconfig will prompt you for each new feature, so once you have your baseline kernel set, make oldconfig is real quick. When moving between different -rX versions, it often won't prompt at all. Mike -- [email protected] mailing list
