If you build a kernel yourself, copy it into /boot, adjust your grub config, etc, then obviously the kernel .config isn't going to get copied over there. I don't know how many distributions do it, but it looks like Debian and SuSE do it. I don't think there's any great need to do it yourself when you build your own kernel since you have the .config file right there in your source tree, and it's in /proc/config.gz if you built that support in. -- Sidney CAMMERESI http://www.cheesecake.org/sac/
