kernel .config edit?
Can we edit this file? I need to change something but the first line of the .config file of the kernel says not to edit. Is that only a warning?
|
what do you need to edit? i would be really careful editing that file. if you still want to, backup.
|
Usually you edit it by doing a make xconfig from the command line. The .config file is the file used to compile a kernel. So if you edit it, changes won't take effect until you recompile the kernel.
|
You can run "make menuconfig", change the settings you want and choose to save at the end.
|
ok that's what I thought, that it doesnt have any effect until you recompile (and I dont want to)
I need to change something for my wireless CONFIG_NET_RADIO=ON So yeah I know what I'm doing.... well I think. And I dont mind if I blow my system up, I install linux about 3 times a week!!! lolol Will try make menuconfig and make xconfig Cheers all! |
I haven't worked much with wireless, but anything you change in this file shouldn't help you out until you recompile. So I'm not sure how changing this file will help you if you're not going to recompile...

ill try menuconfig as reddazz stated
