Just copy your old .config file to the new kernel source directory, then |
| 11 |
run make menuconfig and select what you want. Job done. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
The make menuconfig will silently do a make oldconfig on the |
| 14 |
existing .config file before it puts the menu on the screen. This |
| 15 |
means that the options in the menu hierarchy will reflect the options |
| 16 |
that were in your old .config file, with newer features [i.e. not in the |
| 17 |
earlier kernel] set to defaults. |
