which file is the default kernel config for the slackware install cd
 

Hello all, "whereis" the default kernel config file on the slackware installer cd. I'd like to try and rebuild that kernel, and add USB cdrom driver support, and if I can get it to work, make a diff and shoot it off to Slackware 'proper'. It'd make life easier for me for these little netbooks that have no cd-rom's.

Any chance you have the Slackware in question, installed & running on "any" machine? If so, boot it up and look in /proc for the file called "config.gz" and you will have it (just un-gzip it). This is where the config for the running kernel is stored.

If not, then you could grab it off the ftp/http server -- as an example, look here: ftp://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackwar...ernels/huge.s/

Finally, on the CD itself, it should be in pretty much the same folder/location as it is at the above link: in the "kernels" folder I believe..

sorry I had meant for slackware current. ok I'll check that out and see, thank you.

For the CD/DVD, look in ../source/k. You'll find several files named config*. For example: http://slackware.mirrors.tds.net/pub...rent/source/k/.

For all installed kernels the respective config files will be installed in /boot.
