Let's say you install RedHat out of the box. When you do that, even if you install the kernel source, you don't get a .config file. Is there some way to create a .config file based on the running kernel? I thought "make oldconfig" would do it, but from what I've read, it doesn't sound like that's necessarily true. Email me privately with your scorn, flames, or even an answer if you have one. Thanks. -- David Hollister Driversoft Engineering: http://devicedrivers.com Digital Audio Resources: http://digitalaudioresources.org
