Hey Guys, I just had a quick question. I have to do a kernel rebuild on a couple of systems at work and the admin didn't save his .config files from the last build. Is there anyway to find out how he has the current kernel configed so i can build from there? BTW they are 2.4 Thanks in advance Jeff

If that kernel contained the /proc/config.gz access patch, you can just

Code:

gzcat /proc/config.gz > /usr/src/linux-2.4.yourversion/.config

to retrieve the configuration.
If it didn't, then nope, no way to do it.
