Spot beat me to it, but I just wanted to add that I've found the "oldconfig" target to be VERY useful. I tend to update my kernels often on my x86 boxes, and if you copy your previous config into the new kernel directory, oldconfig will bring up JUST those half dozen or so new options that have been introduced since the last version, so you know pretty well what has changed, or at least, what's new. -- Charles Tryon <[email protected]> Ciber
