I found out the hard way that 'make oldconfig' would change kernel options silently (sometimes built-in to modules, as I remember), so I only use 'make oldconfig' to point out changes. After getting burnt once, I now always save my existing config, use 'make menuconfig', load the old version, make changes, save my changes in the old place, then save the .config. -- Collions Richey - Denver Area Athlon-XP gentoo 1.4_rc2++ system _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
