getting default kernel config
 

Hi, Just installed debian ...

there are no kernel sources in /usr/src, how do i 'dump' the current kernel config? (like usually in /usr/src/linux/.config) ?....

would installing kernel-source-x.x or something do it?

Cheers

/proc/config.gz (or maby its .tgz)

EDIT: It is /proc/config.gz

I believe that all debian kernels support the proc config file. I know my Debian box that i just installed with the rc2 installer did (I used 2.6)
