what would be the use in that? I know they have to start somewhere but I can't see a use to have the default settings after the fact. So is there no way to at least create a .config file based on what is already in the system from the install?<BR>

Also, thanks to Kevin Glosser for the really nice post on kernel compiling. I was able to do a couple but as you said, you will probably not get it right the first time or so and I didnt, lol. What I would like to do is know how to take what you have from the install and manipulate that, instead of compiling from scratch. I know you put about moving the .config file but that doesnt seem to exist UNTIL you do the choices for compile, i.e. make xconfig.<BR>
