Hello all,

I am trying to compile my kernel (2.4.20) in order to have NTFS access to my Windows partition( read only).

During the recompilation process, you all know we have to build a .config file.

Unfortuntely, there are lots of parameters I do not have a clue about. I have already a 2.4.20 kernel installed (but unfortunately I have no .config file). I would like to know if there exists a tool that would be able to (re-)build this .config file based on my current configuration.
This would help in a lot if I got that file: I would just have to activate the NTFS feature and recompile the whole stuff and I would be sure that I do not 'break' anything else.

Thanks in advance for your help,

Vincent

Yes there is.It's called make oldconfig.
Here's a fairly simple guide to compiling.
