Let's have an example: when I have to build upstream on a distro here, I take the distro config and use it despite that it takes a long time to build since everything is module - it is still better for me to wait that one time instead of doing a dozen of trial and errors after forgetting a config option each time.
This is where 'make localmodconfig' does help. It can remove a lot of modules for you. And I just recently fixed a bug in the tool that it now removes even more modules (The fix is in linux-next). Also, if you are building on another box than what the kernel is for, you can go to that box and run 'lsmod > /tmp/lsmod'. Copy that file to the build machine (into /tmp/lsmod), and then run 'make LSMOD=/tmp/lsmod localmodconfig', and this will remove the modules not used by the target box. -- Steve -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner@opensuse.org
