You will end up with unsupported hardware >(usb sound-card, printer, etc.) Not if the devices are connected.

I wasn't aware that by default it does use the booted kernel's config. Copying could make sense, if for some reasons we booted another kernel, than the kernel from that we want to use the config. When copying a config, the .config definitively will not be overwritten. I'm doing it that way for more than ten years now and oldconfig never has overwritten a copied config. However, good to know that if we boot the kernel with the wanted config, that then no copying is needed. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
