Subject: Building a 2.4.x kernel with all options

Dear all !!!

Is there a easy way to compile a linux 2.4 kernel with all possible
options. That is, something like "make all" or "make everything".

I need to build a kernel that has everything set. If possible I'd like
to use everything that can be module as module.'

Any hint is welcome

There is no easy way, there isn't even a single "biggest .config".
Some drivers are mutually exclusive, so you have to chose.

Tomorrow at work, I can send you a .config that should have almost
everything compiled into the kernel, for i386 uniprocessor, linux
2.4.21-pre3.

If you manage to create an even bigger .config from that base or have
other maxed our configs for smp, other platforms or other kernels, I'd
like to get a copy. But make sure they compile first. :)

Correctness comes second.
Features come third.
Performance comes last.
Maintainability is needed for all of them.

I found a couple more. Have a look at
http://wohnheim.fh-wedel.de/~joern/software/kernel/configs/

make vmlinux should work for all of them, if not, please drop in a
mail.
