I thought "make oldconfig" would only stop at the differences between your previously running .config file when copied from another (often/usually) previous kernel version... Unless your kernel src tree came with a .config... in which case, it would not stop for anything, as the .config that it shipped with would likely have the same options specified that were available before. make oldconfig is a very cool tool. I use it often when upgrading and it has not failed me yet. :-) Of course it was not perfect when sound card compile options were not stored in .config... remember the bad-old days? :-P blech We have it sooooo much better now. :-) -ME -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.12 GCS/CM$/IT$/LS$/S/O$ !d--(++) !s !a+++(-----) C++$(++++) U++++$(+$) P+$>+++ L+++$(++) E W+++$(+) N+ o K w+$>++>+++ O-@ M+$ V-$>- !PS !PE Y+ PGP++ t@-(++) 5+@ X@ R- tv- b++ DI+++ D+ G--@ e+>++>++++ h(++)>+ r*>? z? ------END GEEK CODE BLOCK------ decode: http://www.ebb.org/ungeek/ about: http://www.geekcode.com/geek.html _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
