After the copy of the file suggested above, I recommend running "make oldconfig" first (after the filecopy of the config file is done). This will make things a little easier, before running (make comnfig/menuconfig/xconfig/etc). -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
