There is stuff (e.g. ftape etc) compiled into the kernel that S.u.S.E. installed
which doesn't agree with what comes up when you run "menuconfig", nor with
what's in "/usr/src/linux-2.0.32/arch/i386/defconfig" (which seems to be the
same as the menuconfig stuff).

What I'd like to do is a kind of "diff" kernel compilation, e.g. if I want
sound then "menuconfig" should come up with the options already operative in my
running kernel also set in the menu; then all I have to do is add sound and
recompile and I get my old kernel plus sound. I'm concerned about overlooking
or leaving out kernel options I need and which are present in the running
kernel, if I recompile from scratch (as "menuconfig" seems to want to do).

So is there, anywhere, a "S.u.S.E. defconfig" which defines how the S.u.S.E.
kernel was compiled?

With thanks,
Ted.
