-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I'm about to do my first kernel compile. I'm looking at the instructions in the 8.2 Administrators guide. I've seen some discussions here about setting up the old configuration initially. According to the Guide, I begin by entering make .oldconfig. Beyond that, is there anything I should watch for beyond following the Guide carefully? tia - ---Michael -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2-rc1-SuSE (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+/vTojeziQOokQnARAiXoAJ9wfiWK5Sko2T75M3u9N340PIwkaACggjFo IQT+ivZykW4eaTqXaQT+0f8= =m0Gj -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

It's 'make oldconfig' without the leading dot. Philipp -- Philipp Thomas work: pthomas@suse.de SuSE Linux AG private: philipp.thomas@t-link.de
