I wasn't suggesting that you use the config generated by 'yes "" | ...' only that you use it to list the new config options. Looking at "make help", there's (now?) a "make listnewconfig" option to do just that. Regarding interrupting "make oldconfig", I don't see any option at the moment except run "make menuconfig", set some options, save the config, exit, and return to make menuconfig" later. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-config" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
