I normally try and use the distribution-provided kernel for pretty much everything, because it's simpler this way. But sometimes it's just not possible. E.g., for some DVB cards, one needs a vanilla kernel, patched. So here's my question: what is the best way to configure a vanilla kernel so that it is as close to the Fedora kernel as possible? I was thinking to just get the .config file used to generate the Fedora kernel and use it to configure/make the vanilla kernel and let the kernel build system deal with the differences. Is that a good approach? I don't need a perfect match (indeed, it is not possible), but just a reasonable closeness. -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/
