1 Hello,
2
3 After copying the current ".config" to the newly linked sources
4 (/usr/src/linux) I use to run 'make oldconfig'. Now, looking at
5 the gentoo wiki [1] I see (2) choices but no 'make oldconfig'::
6
7 1) #make silentoldconfig
8
9 2) #make olddefconfig
10
11 3) #make oldconfig
12
13 (3) still seems to work. (2) uses defaults so I do not want that, but
14 what about (1)? What's the difference between (1) and (3) ? Where do
15 I read about them of find the sources?
16
17 I did notice after running (3) and then 'make && make modules install'
18 the slilentoldconfig script was ran (it flashed by quickly)::
19
20 scripts/kconfig/conf --silentoldconfig Kconfig
21
22 Evidently, I'm a step behind kernel building semantics....
23
24 curiously,
25 James
