It will find an existing config in /boot if you have one named using |
| 7 |
the upstream naming convention (which happens if you install the |
| 8 |
kernel using make install on a vanilla kernel - I'm not sure about |
| 9 |
genkernel or gentoo-sources offhand). |

If you have /proc/config.gz enabled then you can also do a zcat |
| 12 |
/proc/config.gz > .config to extract your current config. I always |
| 13 |
enable /proc/config.gz since it costs a few kb tops and comes in handy |
| 14 |
anytime you're not sure what config you're running (though if you |
| 15 |
built some modules after the fact it might not be entirely current). |
