Al, if you look in the README file in the top of the kernel tree, |
| 20 |
there's a very good section with explanations about the various kernel |
| 21 |
configuration options available for make. |

|
| 23 |
I find it amazing, though, that even if I copy my old .config, it still |
| 24 |
takes me so much time to make sure all the settings are correct for a |
| 25 |
given machine. Hasn't anyone come up with a handy |
| 26 |
look-through-my-lspci-output-and-create-a-skeleton-kernel-config tool? |
| 27 |
Or does it already exist and we just call him "Pappy"? |
