I don't know how wide-spread this is, but on my SuSE 6.4 system at home there is a file "/proc/config.gz" that appears to be a compressed copy of the .config file used to build the running kernel. I also have access to a SuSE 6.3 and a RedHat 6.1 system that do NOT have this file in /proc. I don't know what SuSE 7.0 has, but I'd bet it's the same as 6.4. "make cloneconfig" will decompress this file from /proc into .config Jim Cunning On Sat, 13 Jan 2001, Mark Hounschell wrote:

Is it possible to "extract" a .config file from a compiled kernel? And if so, how?

I beleive that as long as you are using the SuSE patched sources (lx_suse) that you can do a make cloneconfig which should build you a .config file from your running kernel.
