Hello All , I have a .config file that has only the needed items
defined . What I am looking to do is have the 'make *config'
be in a script that builds a kernel . I'd like to have all
entries that would pop up in a 'make oldconfig' as undefined
be defined as 'N' . I am not looking for this to cross major
kernel versions (ie: 2.4 -> 2.5) just to many possible changes in
the code . Does anyone have any pointers ? Tia , JimL

It's not automatic, but oldconfig defaults to "N" so 'make oldconfig' and
hold down <ENTER>...
This is a one time thing (2.4 -> 2.5) so why write a script for it?
Does anyone have any reasons why James couldn't just start compiling with a
previous .config?
hmm, maybe I should check the FAQ...
... nope, only one occourance of "oldconfig" and that didn't help...

yes '' | make oldconfig
takes the default for all questions.
