Well, even if the config file hasn't been included you can presumably _write_ the config file from the kernel setup program...and that is _probably_ the configuration of the kernel you are running n'est-ce-pas? Roger. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in

Matthew and Keith, Thank you to both of you for your input, info, and quick responses. I just wanted to make shure there weren't tricks still in the bag that I hadn't learned about in this area. I'll look for the config file. Jacob Anawalt Matthew Pitts wrote: > On Sun, 28 Jan 2001 16:06:57
