I'm sure that works but I've been doing the way I do it because that |
| 18 |
works for me. This is what I end up with: |

I also save the config with the same version part as the kernel, that |
| 33 |
way I know which config goes with which kernel. Everyone has their own |
| 34 |
way of doing what works for them. I just prefer to copy my own manually |
| 35 |
with a name that makes sense to me. I don't think make install will do |
| 36 |
this the way I do it. |

To each his own. |
