Running 'make oldconfig' within the sources directory by default uses |
| 27 |
whatever config-x.y.z is the highest version available in /boot. |
| 28 |
Otherwise, copying the config file desired to the sources directory |
| 29 |
followed by running 'make oldconfig' will generate a new one based on |
| 30 |
the config file copied. |
| 31 |
You could than run the diff on the gentoo config file and the vanilla |
| 32 |
one and take it from there. |
