What's more, you don't have to keep going through menuconfig if you already have a running self-compiled kernel. Just copy the .config file to somewhere safe (I use, e.g. /boot/config-3.2) and call genkernel with the option to specify the config file it's to use. Sorry but I can't tell you exactly what the parameter is as I don't have genkernel on this box. Someone will be along in a moment though. -- Rgds Peter
