Kernel Config
 

I am recompiling my kernel and someone told me the easiest way to do that would be to copy my current config and go from there. How do I do that? Where is my current config stored?

its located at /usr/src/linux/.config

linux is a link to the current kernel bieng used...so if ure using kernel 2.4.22, then this command will copy the .config from the 2.4.22 kernel directory

$ cp /usr/src/linux/.config /usr/src/newkernel

the other easier way to do it is to run the

$ make oldconfig

command, which will read your current config and only ask u for any changes or new drivers which are available in the new kernel.
