29 The kernel config is /proc/config.gz . I'm not sure if you can get a
30 copy of the kernel or not. Since it would need a LOT of modules to
31 load, you would most likely have to build it anyway. The CD uses
32 modules for a lot of stuff that you may not want to be a module on the
33 actual system.
