You're welcome :) . I only remembered it because I was in exactly the same |
29 |
situation, trying to get genkernel to not overwrite my kernel config. I |
30 |
remember being annoyed that genkernel didn't have a --no-oldconfig command |
31 |
line option. I'm surprised it still doesn't. After all, several other options |
32 |
have corresponding --no-* variants, like "--[no-]mrproper". Oh, well. |

Happy to help (hey, that acronymises to HTH, too!) |
