I did some more investigation. After a cd to the BUILD directory, I ran 'make xconfig' and set the 3 items that I need. isa, isapnp and ne2000 support. From the SPEC directory I ran 'rpmbuild -bc --short-circuit kernel-2.6.spec'. After about 4 minutes I looked at the contents of the .config file in the BUILD directory. ALL 3 ITEMS I had selected had been DELETED. I also noticed that rpmbuild -bc runs 'make mrproper'. From my 2.4.x days, I seem to remember that mrproper restores everything to original content. Is my memory correct?
I normally use make menuconfig, but I'm wondering if the basic process is the same: cd <rpm-build-base/BUILD/kernel*/linux*/ cp <rpm-base-dir>/SOURCES/<your-choice-of-config-file> .config make xconfig cp .config <rpm-base-dir>/SOURCES/<your-choice-of-config-file> cd <rpm-build-base>/SPECS rpmbuild ... Whatever you create in the BUILD/kernel*/linux*/ directory is reconstructed from scratch UNLESS you are doing an rpmbuild -bc or -bi with --short-circuit, and that won't get you an rpm of the kernel, just the kernel itself. -- Mark Hull-Richter DATAllegro (www.datallegro.com) 85 Enterprise, Second Floor, Aliso Viejo, CA 92656 949-680-3082 - Office 949-680-3001 - fax _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
