Hello,
Having now been playing with my newly-installed SuSE 5.2 for a while, I'd like to build my own kernel. Setting the configuration options is one thing, but I'd like to know what they're set to currently: i.e. what does my current (off the CD) kernel look like. Is there any way to tell? Ideally I'd like to be able to build a kernel which is just like my current one, but with a couple of things added (and perhaps a couple of things taken away).
Any hints will be gratefully received.
You can't get the configuration from a compiled kernel. But the configurations of our precompiled kernels are on the CDROM. If you use, for example, kernel scsi01, just do the following: cp /cdrom/suse/images/config/config.scsi01.ikr /usr/src/linux/.config cd /usr/src/linux make oldconfig Now you can modify the configuration. BTW the configuration files are on CD#1. For the differences between scsi01 and scsi01.ikr: Kernel scsi01 is used for the installation, scsi01.ikr is the kernel that is installed in the system. The two versions of the kernel are there because space on the boot disk is very tight so the installation kernels lack some things you do not need during installation.
Cheers, Marc.
