Probably the easiest thing to do is grab the config files out of the kernel kernel source rpms, and do a make oldconfig with the one that matches your current kernel. You'll end up with a similar configuration, and some prompts for new drivers and options that differ in the new kernel version. I don't know how far Mandrake kernels differ from Linus (Marcelo) kernels, but this should get you on the right track at least. - Jeff -- GVADEC 2004: Kristiansand, Norway http://2004.guadec.org/ "The only people still using Microsoft IIS are those who don't even know it's there." - Larry Ellison -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
