7 Since the new machine will probably have a newer kernel, I suggest
8
9 1) copy /usr/src/linux/.config from the working machine to the new
10 machine
11
12 2) run "make oldconfig"
13
14 3) then run male and make modules_install
15
16 "make oldconfig" will give you a chance to set values for options in
17 the newer kernel that don't exist in the older kernel.
