Does anyone know whereabouts I could go to get an index of all
configurations options (i.e. drivers, etc.) that are available in the
latest Linux kernel? I am waiting on a kernel mode driver for my USB
digital camera, but I don't want to go ahead and download the full 24Mb
just to find out if the support is available yet.
Thanks.

No idea, but if nobody else has a better idea, you could download one
kernel and inspect it, then simply monitor the *patches* (which are much
smaller) to see when your camera gets support.

For USB stuff, try:
http://www.linux-usb.org/
I like the idea of the hardware index, though...
I'm not currently on the lkml list here, so I apologize if my cut and
past reply messes up someone's threaded mail reader.

Here is a script which will print out all the kernel configuration options
found in config.in or Config.in files. If you put this script in the
scripts directory, run it with sh scripts/options_linux (suggested name).
It should be run from the top of the tree, e.g. /usr/src/linux.
For example, to find all the USB options,
sh scripts/options_linux | grep USB
Due to tab/space munging, I'll have to attach the script.
Hope this helps. Of course, you'll still have to get the whole kernel,
which is what you were trying to avoid in the first place. ;)
