26 Thomas,

28 Ten years ago the user did
29 genkernel all
30 and used the default .config provided with genkernel.
31
32 Today, genkernel --kernel-config=/proc/config.gz all does not improve
33 that config.
34
35 genkernel --kernel-config=/proc/config.gz all
36 perpetuates the existing .config which is only useful if its not an
37 earlier generic configuration.
