Since my userland stuff is usually way behind -current, while i'm keeping the kernel up to the latest bits more often, i cvs checkout the modules config, include, lkm, and sys under a separate home directory, and simply run config right from there. (Yes, all of them belong to the kernel in some way, with include being the least important one [mostly identical to the regular include].) Doesn't this also work for you? -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
