The config file does not come with the package (although perhaps it should). It is generated by make config... but of course you will have to go through everything the first time through and configure things the way you like. Customizing the kernel to your own machine does have it's advantages though. The resulting kernel will be smaller, faster, and more secure. And once you do it once you can just copy over your .config file each time you do a kernel upgrade... except perhaps between major releases. -- John Patton [EMAIL PROTECTED] "By doing just a little every day, I can gradually let the task completely overwhelm me." - Ashleigh Brilliant
