kernel config

[Tyler Spivey]

thanks janina for that tip. another way is, if you know
the question appeared in your current cycle, like this is hard to explain but you can figure i tout,
but you can also do make config
and kee hitting enter 2000000 times until you get there. that is hwat i did for the longest time.

Editting the .config file by hand is a sort of iffy business.  What
many of us do that compile a lot of various kernels is keep our most
recent .config file and drop it into the new kernels root directory
after running make mrproper and checking out speakup if you are using
it.  Once you've dropped the .config in the directory you run make
oldconfig which will only ask you questions that have been added to
linux since the previously built kernel.  Once that is done it is a
trivial matter to then run make menuconfig and go modify specific
configuration options.

kernel config

[John G. Heim]

How do you folks configure a kernel? I need to compile a kernel and am 
dreading the  both the line driven config option and the menuconfig option.

Can I edit the config file by hand?
