You can find the currently running kernel's config in /boot/, if it's an apt-gettable one, or one you compiled with make-kpkg. You should copy the right config from there to /usr/src/linux/.config . Also, it's --config=menuconfig, but you're about to find that out yourself, no? =) As a general guide for compiling the kernel, what everything means and all that, I recommend the Kernel HOWTO on tldp.org. -- Regards, Birzan George Cristian
