Sure, just please don't strip out the part that actually does what you |
| 11 |
just did - check the running kernel. I don't think we should assume |
| 12 |
that the user has the configured+prepared sources for a kernel just |
| 13 |
lying around all the time. I don't build in /usr/src (which is |
| 14 |
apparently discouraged by upstream anyway), so /proc/config.gz is |
| 15 |
really the only reliable indication of how things are setup. Well, |
| 16 |
that or a config file in /boot which I'm sure others don't use (but |
| 17 |
make install puts it there). |
