make config instead of make menuconfig will give you choices one at a time. The downside of this approach is that you don't have the option to go back and forth among various selections until you have things the way you want them. The advantage is that speech will be robust. Once you have a .config file you like save it off to a separate location. This way, the next time you want to compile a kernel you can copy this old configuration file into the root of the kernel tree (i.e. /usr/src/linux) and do a make oldconfig This is advantageous. You'll hate make config the first time you run it because it asks a gazillion questions. But, after you've done this once, make oldconfig will ask only about new things. Also, here's what dto do if you think something in your config needs to change--or if you realize you've made a mistake during the make config process, but can't go back because that's the nature of the beast. Pull up the .config file in your favorite editor and find the line in question. Delete that entire line--do not edit it. You can delete one line or many lines, as needed. Then, do a: make oldconfig and you'll be asked about the options you deleted only. This make oldconfig makes compiling new kernels a breeze. -- Janina Sajka, Director Technology Research and Development Governmental Relations Group American Foundation for the Blind (AFB) Email: janina at afb.net Phone: (202) 408-8175 Chair, Accessibility SIG Open Electronic Book Forum (OEBF) http://www.openebook.org Will electronic books surpass print books?
