DESCRIPTION Generate a .config for the local computer, so that the kernel could be built right in that moment. Therefor the local computer is being examined, probed and configured and all the devices that we find go into your .config. The version is probably never 100% accurate, it might be a good idea to manually recheck the .config (e.g. via make menuconfig) This is supposed to be a first step into a new direction where we no longer copy vendor kernels from the vendor CD to the system in the first position, but rather configure a new kernel for each system, hoping that somewhen the boxes will be fast enough to handle it in no time.
