In previous builds there was a very handy virtual file /proc/config.z that allowed me to find out exactly how the currently running kernel was configured. I could then do cd /usr/src tar xvfz /tmp/linux-2.4.24.tz cd linux-2.4.24 zcat /proc/config.z >.config make oldconfig -- hit return a few dozen times make menuconfig -- fix a few things make dep && make bzImage && make modules && make modules_install The /proc/config.z file seems to have disappeared! Is there some config parameter that enables this? Or has it gone away between 2.4.20 and 2.4.24? -- George Young [Please cc response to gry@ll.mit.edu, I do not subscribe.
