It has become more or less a standard among kernel packagers to provide the config, and that location makes sense. Some distros provide the config in other ways, I dont think its a standard location. All debian provided kernel packages will have the config there, though. If you build your own kernel, I suggest keeping a copy there for your own reference, but nothing actually relies on it directly. -- Jay Kline http://www.slushpupie.com/
