A better way to provide the same information is the gzip compressed text file /proc/config.gz and in older kernels the uncompressed /proc/config. However, the kernel option CONFIG_PROC_CONFIG must be selected for the kernel one is running for this to work. SuSE has this kernel option selected by default. All distributions should use it, except maybe embedded Linux where kernel memory usage can be a critical concern. /proc/config.gz is built by (actually part of) the running kernel, so there can be little doubt that it is the correct kernel configuration. This is especially useful for people building and testing multiple kernels. If CONFIG_PROC_CONFIG is selected, /proc/config.gz is available via: % zcat /proc/config.gz % zcat /proc/config.gz | less % zcat /proc/config.gz | grep CONFIG_<function> % gunzip -c /proc/config.gz % gunzip -c /proc/config.gz | less % gunzip -c /proc/config.gz | grep CONFIG_<function> Sincerely, Ken Fuchs <kfuchs at winternet.com> _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
