Right you are.  I've just added it - rebuilding kernel now.

How are others keeping their custom kernel config up-to-date?  This 
seems like a real issue to me, unless there's a tool to do this already 
and I'm just not using it.  I cp GENERIC, make my changes, and move on. 
As my machine tracks -CURRENT, the GENERIC kernel changes, but my custom 
config stays the same (I never 'merge' any changes in).

Thanks Fabian for the hint..

Eric
