I agree.  Perhaps it can just change it to "Kernel Source Tree" or something.

How universal is /proc/config* on various distros.  Debian and Ubuntu don't
seem to enable it in their default kernels.  SUSE does.  I don't have easy
access to any RH boxes right now, though.

Also, all three of Debian, Ubuntu and SUSE supply a /boot/config-`uname -r`
file with their kernel packages.  That seems to be a more consistent place to
look for this information.

Can anyone confirm any of this for RH or other distros out there that I
haven't mentioned?

I think we should save these changes for the next addendum.

Thanks, Thomas.
